Classical and Quantum Features of the Mixmaster Singularity
Giovanni Montani, Marco Valerio Battisti, Riccardo Benini +1
This review article is devoted to analyze the main properties characterizing the cosmological singularity associated to the homogeneous and inhomogeneous Mixmaster model. After the…
Classical and Quantum Aspects of the Inhomogeneous Mixmaster Chaoticity
Riccardo Benini, Giovanni Montani
We refine Misner's analysis of the classical and quantum Mixmaster in the fully inhomogeneous picture; we both connect the quantum behavior to the ensemble representation, both des…
Covariant Description of the Inhomogeneous Mixmaster Chaos
Riccardo Benini, Giovanni Montani
We outline the covariant nature of the chaos characterizing the generic cosmological solution near the initial singularity. Our analysis is based on a "gauge" independent ADM-reduc…
Vector Field Induced Chaos in Multi-dimensional Homogeneous Cosmologies
Riccardo Benini, Alexander A. Kirillov, Giovanni Montani
We show that in multidimensional gravity vector fields completely determine the structure and properties of singularity. It turns out that in the presence of a vector field the osc…
