Structure of infinity in cosmology
arXiv:1212.6737 · doi:10.1142/S0218271813300036
Abstract
We discuss recent developments related to certain blow up methods suitable for the analysis of cosmological singularities and asymptotics. We review results obtained in a variety of currently popular themes and describe ongoing research about universes with various kinds of extreme states, higher order gravity, and certain models of braneworlds.
v2: 23 pages, various improvements, v3: 21 pages, material on the Poincaré projection in 1D removed as this is now part of arXiv:1301.4778, v4: matches published version
