On the geometry of silent and anisotropic big bang singularities

Understand

This article is the second of two in which we develop a geometric framework for analysing silent and anisotropic big bang singularities.

• In the present article, we record geometric conclusions obtained by combining the geometric framework with Einstein's equations.
• The main features of the results are the following: The assumptions do not involve any symmetry requirements and are weak enough to be consistent with most big bang singularities for which the asymptotic geometry is understood.
• The framework gives a clear picture of the asymptotic geometry.
