Spikes in the Mixmaster regime of G_2 cosmologies

Abstract

We produce numerical evidence that spikes in the Mixmaster regime of G_2 cosmologies are transient and recurring, supporting the conjecture that the generalized Mixmaster behavior is asymptotically non-local where spikes occur. Higher order spike transitions are observed to split into separate first order spike transitions.
