We analyse spatially homogenous cosmological models of locally rotationally symmetric Bianchi type III with a massive scalar field as matter model. Our main result concerns the future asymptotics of these spacetimes and gives the dominant…

We consider the problem of late-time isotropization in spatially homogeneous but anisotropic cosmological models when the source of the gravitational field consists of two non-interacting perfect fluids -- one tilted and one non-tilted. In…

We consider the asymptotic behaviour of spatially homogeneous spacetimes of Bianchi type IX close to the singularity (we also consider some of the other Bianchi types, e. g. Bianchi VIII in the stiff fluid case). The matter content is…
