In the standard Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime, we consider a local cosmic test mass that is boosted in some direction relative to the standard comoving observers. The geodesic (Fermi) normal coordinate system…

We use generalized Puisieux series expansions to determine the behaviour of the scale factor in the vicinity of typical cosmological milestones occurring in a FRW universe. We describe some of the consequences of this generalized Puisieux…

We study geodesics in Friedmann-Lema{\^\i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmological models and give the full set of solutions. For azimuthal geodesics, in a closed universe, we give the angular distance travelled by a test particle moving…

The fundamental singularity theorem of FLRW cosmologies assumes that the matter content in the cosmological model obeys the strong energy condition along with a nonpositive cosmological constant which gives rise to an irrotational geodesic…

Cosmological singularity and asymptotic behaviour of scale factor of generalized cosmological models are analyzed in respect of their structural stability. It is shown, that cosmological singularity is structurally unstable for the majority…

The Friedman-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmological models are based on the assumptions of large-scale homogeneity and isotropy of the distribution of matter and energy. They are usually taken to have spatial sections that are simply…

Until recently, the physically relevant singularities occurring in FRW cosmologies had traditionally been thought to be limited to the "big bang", and possibly a "big crunch". However, over the last few years, the zoo of cosmological…

In this manuscript, we present a number of fascinating explicit reconstructions for the $f(Q)$ gravity from the background of Friedmann-La\^imatre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) evolution history. We find the more general functions of…

In this talk we would like to analyse the appearance of singularities in FLRW cosmological models which evolve close to w=-1, where w is the barotropic index of the universe. We relate small terms in cosmological time around w=-1 with the…

Modern cosmology is based on the cosmological principle, which states that the Universe is statistically homogeneous and isotropic. When applied in its strict -- rather than statistical -- sense, the cosmological principle leads to the…
