The present study deals with spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi-I cosmological model representing massive strings. The energy-momentum tensor, as formulated by Letelier (Phys. Rev. D 28: 2414, 1983) has been used to construct…
Cosmic Microwave Background anomalies suggest that the Universe is slightly anisotropic, so a Cosmological Model that does not satisfy the Cosmological Principle is necessary. Anisotropic Bianchi models have been studied given that they…
This paper investigates the cosmological dynamics arising from the interaction between a 2-form field and cold dark matter within a Bianchi I background. Employing a dynamical system analysis, we identify two attractors yielding to…
We study homogeneous cosmological models featuring shift-symmetric scalar fields (or, superfluids) in relative motion. In the presence of anisotropy this universe generally features rotation, in the sense that the principal axes of…
An analysis is presented of the Bianchi type I cosmological models with a bulk viscosity when the universe is filled with the stiff fluid $p = \epsilon$ while the viscosity is a power function of the energy density, such as $\eta = \alpha…
Astronomical observations showed that there may exist a bulk flow with peculiar velocities in the universe, which contradicts with the (\Lambda)CDM model. The bulk flow reveals that the observational universe is anisotropic at large scales.…

We study the anisotropic Bianchi I loop quantum cosmology in 2+1 dimensions. Both the $\mubar$ and $\mubar'$ schemes are considered in the present paper and the following expected results are established: (i) the massless scalar field again…
Contrary to the general belief, there has recently been quite a few examples of unitary evolution of quantum cosmological models. The present work gives more examples, namely Bianchi type VI and type II. These examples are important as they…
We present a dynamical analysis in terms of new expansion-normalized variables for homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi-I spacetimes in $f(R)$ gravity in the presence of anisotropic matter. With a suitable choice of the evolution parameter,…
The early time behaviour of brane-world models is analysed in the presence of anisotropic stresses. It is shown that that the initial singularity cannot be isotropic, unless there is also an isotropic fluid stiffer than radiation present.…
An anisotropic cosmological model with a gauge field, presented by spatially homogeneous SU(2)-symmetric Yang-Mills potentials, is considered. Bianchi-I model with axial symmetry is analyzed; a new exact solution, which describes the early…
A fundamental assumption in the standard model of cosmology is that the Universe is isotropic on large scales. Breaking this assumption leads to a set of solutions to Einstein's field equations, known as Bianchi cosmologies, only a subset…
It was found recently that the anisotropies in the homogeneous Bianchi I cosmology considered within the context of a specific Horndeski theory are damped near the initial singularity instead of being amplified. In this work we extend the…
The goal of this paper is to analyze the effects of the matter fields in the evolution of the Bianchi IX cosmology close to the singularity. Although the dynamics of this model is very involved, asymptotically, as the singularity is…
We investigate a model of gravitational collapse of matter inhomogeneities where the latter are modelled as Bianchi type IX (BIX) spacetimes. We found that this model contains, as limiting cases, both the standard spherical collapse model…
