Bianchi Spacetime Models of Type I  

In General > s.a. bianchi I models with matter and in other theories.
$ Def: Defined by the structure constants CABC = 0 of the additive group \(\mathbb R\)3.
* Types of solutions: In vacuum general relativity one gets the Kasner solution; With dust, one gets the Heckmann-Schücking solution.

Kasner Solution > s.a. wave equation.
* Idea: Cosmological solution to the vacuum Einstein's equation for the Bianchi I case, in which some dimensions expand and some others contract in time (in 3+1 dimensions, one expands and two contract).
* Vacuum solution: It is given by ds2 = −dt2 + t2p1 dx2 + t2p2 dy2 + t2p3 dz2, with ∑i pi = ∑i pi2 = 1; It can be parametrized by

p1 = −u (1+u+u2)−1 ,      p2 = (1+u) (1+u+u2)−1 ,       p3 = u (1+u) (1+u+u2)−1 .

* With fluid: In general relativity with viscous fluid, it is not possible to obtain a model which satisfies the second law of thermodynamics and the dominant energy condition; This can be done in other theories, such as scalar-tensor gravity.
