Despite having a reasonably successful account of accelerated cosmology, understanding the early evolution of Universe has always been difficult for mankind. Our promising strategy is based on a novel class of symmetric teleparallel…
We investigate diagonal Bianchi-I spacetimes in the presence of viscous fluids by using the shear and the anisotropic pressure components as the basic variables, where the viscosity is driven by the (second-order) causal thermodynamics. A…

A primordial inflationary phase allows one to erase any possible anisotropic expansion thanks to the cosmic no-hair theorem. If there is no global anisotropic stress, then the anisotropic expansion rate tends to decrease. What are the…
