Asymptotic structure and stability of spatially homogeneous space-times with a positive cosmological constant

Understand

We investigate the future asymptotics of spatially homogeneous space-times with a positive cosmological constant by using and further developing geometric conformal methods in General Relativity.

• For a large class of source fields, including fluids with anisotropic stress, we prove that the space-times are future asymptotically simple and geometrically conformally regular.
• We use that result in order to show the global conformal regularity of the Einstein-Maxwell system as well as the Einstein-radiation, Einstein-dust, massless Einstein-Vlasov and particular Einstein-scalar field systems for Bianchi space-times.
• Taking into account previous results, this implies the future non-linear stability of some of those space-times in the sense that, for small perturbations, the space-times approach locally the de Sitter solution asymptotically in time.
