The Gowdy T3 Cosmologies revisited
arXiv:gr-qc/9708038 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/15/6/014
Abstract
We have examined, repeated and extended earlier numerical calculations of Berger and Moncrief for the evolution of unpolarized Gowdy T3 cosmological models. Our results are consistent with theirs and we support their claim that the models exhibit AVTD behaviour, even though spatial derivatives cannot be neglected. The behaviour of the curvature invariants and the formation of structure through evolution both backwards and forwards in time is discussed.
