The Effects of Multiple Modes and Reduced Symmetry on the Rapidity and Robustness of Slow Contraction
Anna Ijjas, Frans Pretorius, Paul J. Steinhardt +1
We demonstrate that the rapidity and robustness of slow contraction in homogenizing and flattening the universe found in simulations in which the initial conditions were restricted…

Ultralocality and Slow Contraction
Anna Ijjas, Andrew P. Sullivan, Frans Pretorius +2
We study the detailed process by which slow contraction smooths and flattens the universe using an improved numerical relativity code that accepts initial conditions with non-pertu…
