On closed cosmological models that satisfy the strong energy condition but do not recollapse

Abstract

We show the existence of a rather general class of closed cosmological models of Bianchi type IX that do not exhibit recollapse but expand for all times. This is despite the fact that these models satisfy the strong energy condition by a wide margin.
