The Einstein equations for a perfect fluid spatially homogeneous spacetime are studied in a unified manner by retaining the generality of certain parameters whose discrete values correspond to the various Bianchi types of spatial…
Assuming that the space-time is close to isotropic in the sense that the shear parameter is small and that the maximal velocity of the particles is bounded, we have been able to show that for non-diagonal Bianchi I-symmetric spacetimes with…

We show that the complex dynamics of the general Bianchi IX universe in the vicinity of the spacelike singularity can be approximated by a simplified system of equations. Our analysis is mainly based on numerical simulations. The properties…

The standard cosmological model is challenged by an ever-growing collection of observations, which invites (and stimulates) inquiry into possible additions and/or alterations. One such alteration comes from letting cosmic isotropy -- as…
We provide a Hamiltonian analysis of the Mixmaster Universe dynamics on the base of a standard Arnowitt-Deser-Misner Hamiltonian approach, showing the covariant nature of its chaotic behaviour with respect to the choice of any time…
We study Bianchi cosmologies in the ghost-free bigravity theory assuming both metrics to be homogeneous and anisotropic, of the Bianchi class A, which includes types I,II,VI$_0$,VII$_0$,VIII, and IX. We assume the universe to contain a…
We apply the dynamical systems approach to ever-expanding Bianchi type VIII cosmologies filled with a tilted $\gamma$-fluid undergoing velocity diffusion on a scalar field. We determine the future attractors and investigate the late-time…
It is well known that the so called Bianchi IX spacetimes with SO(3)-symmetry in a neighbourhood of the Big Bang exhibit a chaotic behaviour of typical trajectories in the backward movement of time. This behaviour (Mixmaster Model of the…
The Mixmaster or Bianchi IX cosmological model has become one of the archetypal settings for studying gravitational dynamics. The past decade has seen a vigourous debate about whether or not the Mixmaster's dynamics is chaotic. In this talk…
