The late-time behaviour of the Einstein-dust system is well understood for homogeneous spacetimes. For the case of Bianchi I we have been able to show that the late-time behaviour of the Einstein-Vlasov system is well approximated by the…
We show under the assumption of small data that solutions to the Einstein-Vlasov system with a pure magnetic field and Bianchi I symmetry isotropise and tend to dust solutions. We also obtain the decay rates for the main variables. This…

The subject of this article is the structure of big bang singularities in spatially homogeneous solutions to the Einstein non-linear scalar field equations. In particular, we focus on Bianchi class A; i.e., developments arising from left…
The dynamics of cosmological models with isotropic matter sources (perfect fluids) is extensively studied in the literature; in comparison, the dynamics of cosmological models with anisotropic matter sources is not. In this paper we…
We study the effects of a spatially homogenous magnetic field in Bianchi-I cosmological models. The cases of a pure magnetic field and two models with additional dust and a massless scalar field (stiff matter) are also considered. At the…
The approach of a quantum state to a cosmological singularity is studied through the evolution of its moments in a simple version of a Bianchi I model. In spite of the simplicity, the model exhibits several instructive and unexpected…
We show that massless solutions to the Einstein-Vlasov system in a Bianchi I space-time with small anisotropy, i.e. small shear and small trace-free part of the spatial energy momentum tensor, tend to a radiation fluid in an Einstein-de…
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…
In this manuscript, we investigate the oscillatory behaviour of the anisotropy in the diagonal Bianchi-I spacetimes. Our starting point is a simplification of Einstein's equations using only observable or physical variables. As a…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of Bianchi type VI$_0$ spacetimes with orthogonal perfect fluid matter satisfying Einstein's equations. In particular, we prove a conjecture due to Wainwright about the initial singularity of such…
