Ancient Dynamics in Bianchi Models: Approach to Periodic Cycles
arXiv:1004.1989 · doi:10.1007/s00220-011-1248-3
Abstract
We consider cosmological models of Bianchi type. In particular, we are interested in the alpha-limit dynamics near the Kasner circle of equilibria for Bianchi classes VIII and IX. They correspond to cosmological models close to the big-bang singularity. We prove the existence of a codimension-one family of solutions that limit, for t to negative infinity, onto a heteroclinic 3-cycle to the Kasner circle of equilibria. The theory extends to arbitrary heteroclinic chains that are uniformly bounded away from the three critical Taub points on the Kasner circle, in particular to all closed heteroclinic cycles of the Kasner map.
