Perfect fluids and generic spacelike singularities

Abstract

We present the conformally 1+3 Hubble-normalized field equations together with the general total source equations, and then specialize to a source that consists of perfect fluids with general barotropic equations of state. Motivating, formulating, and assuming certain conjectures, we derive results about how the properties of fluids (equations of state, momenta, angular momenta) and generic spacelike singularities affect each other.

Considerable changes have been made in presentation and arguments, resulting in sharper conclusions
