This paper presents the cosmological applications of the quasispherical Szekeres model. The quasispherical Szekeres model is an exact solution of the Einstein field equations, which represents a time-dependent mass dipole superposed on a…
Structure formation in the Szekeres model is investigated. Since the Szekeres model is an inhomogeneous model with no symmetries, it is possible to examine the interaction of neighboring structures and its impact on the growth of a density…
We obtain an elegant and useful description of the dynamics of Szekeres dust models (in their full generality) by means of `quasi-local' scalar variables constructed by suitable integral distributions that can be interpreted as weighed…
Geometric properties of the quasi-hyperbolic Szekeres models are discussed and related to the quasi-spherical Szekeres models. Typical examples of shapes of various classes of 2-dimensional coordinate surfaces are shown in graphs; for the…
We study the properties and behaviour of the quasi-pseudospherical and quasi-planar Szekeres models, obtain the regularity conditions, and analyse their consequences. The quantities associated with "radius" and "mass" in the quasi-spherical…
This paper investigates evolution of cosmic structures in different environments. For this purpose the quasispherical Szekeres model is employed. The Szekeres model is an exact solution of the Einstein field equations within which it is…
The purpose of the present work is based on two main observations: the tensions encountered by the standard $\Lambda$CDM model when confronted to precision small scale cosmological data and the finding that the matter distribution and the…
The quasispherical Szekeres metric is an exact solution to Einstein's equations describing an inhomogeneous and anisotropic cosmology. Though its governing equations are well-known, there are subtle, often-overlooked details in how the…
In this paper we consider the relation between the volume deceleration parameter obtained within the Buchert averaging scheme and the deceleration parameter derived from the supernova observation. This work was motivated by recent findings…
Several authors have previously shown that Gpc-scale void based on the spherically symmetric LTB model can provide a good fit to certain cosmological data, including the SNIa data, but it is only consistent with the observed CMB dipole if…
Probes of cosmic expansion constitute the main basis for arguments to support or refute a possible apparent acceleration due to different expansion rates in the universe as described by inhomogeneous cosmological models. We present in this…
Inhomogeneous cosmological models are able to fit cosmological observations without dark energy under the assumption that we live close to the "center" of a very large-scale under-dense region. Most studies fitting observations by means of…
We study the differences and equivalences between the non-perturbative description of the evolution of cosmic structure furnished by the Szekeres dust models (a non-spherical exact solution of Einstein's equations) and the dynamics of…
This paper is a revised version of arXiv:0805.0529 and Phys.Rev. D78, 064038 (2008), taking into account the erratum published in Phys.Rev. D85, 069903(E) (2012). Geometrical and topological properties of the quasi-plane Szekeres model and…
We use the Szekeres inhomogeneous cosmological models to study the growth of large-scale structure in the universe including nonzero spatial curvature and a cosmological constant. In particular, we use the Goode and Wainwright formulation,…
This paper investigates the evolution of a void and an adjacent galaxy supercluster. For this purpose the quasispherical Szekeres model is employed. The Szekeres model is an exact solution of the Einstein field equations. In this way…
The Szekeres family of inhomogeneous solutions, which are defined by six arbitrary metric functions, offers a wide range of possibilities for modelling cosmic structure. Here we present a model construction procedure for the quasispherical…
In this paper, we propose two methods of calculating theoretically maximal metamer mismatch volumes. Unlike prior art techniques, our methods do not make any assumptions on the shape of spectra on the boundary of the mismatch volumes. Both…
The quasi-spherical Szekeres dust solutions are a generalization of the spherically symmetric Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi dust models where the spherical shells of constant mass are non-concentric. The quasi-spherical Szekeres dust solutions can…
An overview of some recent developments in inhomogeneous models is presented. As the volume and precision of cosmological data improves, it will become more and more essential to understand the non-linear behaviour of the Einstein field…
