The Universe With Bulk Viscosity

Abstract

Exact solutions for a model with variable GG, Λ\Lambda and bulk viscosity are obtained. Inflationary solutions with constant (de Sitter-type) and variable energy density are found. An expanding anisotropic universe is found to isotropize during its course of expansion but a static universe is not. The gravitational constant is found to increase with time and the cosmological constant decreases with time as Λt2\Lambda \propto t^{-2}.
