Bianchi Classification of Cosmological Models |
In General
> s.a. Homogeneity; Isotropic Metric.
* Idea: It is a classification
of most spatially homogeneous anisotropic cosmologies; What Bianchi really
did was to classify the three-dimensional Lie algebras, but the Lie algebra
can be taken to be that of the isometry group, and the two things become
equivalent; The original scheme has been later modified.
$ Def: Spacetimes with a 3D
group G of isometries acting freely and (simply) transitively
on spacelike hypersurfaces.
* Motivation: The vacuum or
perfect fluid models give simple equations, which however are non-linear
enough to study anisotropy, singularities, chaotic dynamics, horizon
structure, gravitational waves, non-Newtonian Weyl curvature, etc.
* Classification: If the
Lie algebra is generated by Killing vector fields ξi
(i = 1, 2, 3), with commutators [ξi,
ξj]
= Cijk
ξk, choose a triad of left-invariant
vector fields Li such that
Cijk = εijl nlk + δjk vi − δik vj ,
where nij
= diag(n1,
n2,
n3),
ni
= ±1, 0, and vi
= (0,1; 0,1; 0,1), with vi
nij
= 0; Types are classified by the combinations of values
of ni
and vi
(class A has vi = 0,
class B has vi ≠ 0);
The dual forms χi
are also left-invariant.
* Killing vector fields:
They generate the isometries, so they are right-invariant and satisfy
[ξi, ξj]a = Ckij ξka , [ξ, η]a = Cabc ξb ηc .
* Left-invariant forms: There are three
1-forms \(\sigma^i{}_a\), such that qab
= gij
σia
σ jb
and ∇[a
σib]
= −\(1\over2\)Ccab
σic.
* Metric: It is often parametrized in
an ADM-like form by a volume element and a shear matrix β, such that
ds2 = −N2(t) dt2 + gij(t) σiσj , gij = exp{−2Ω(t)} (exp{2β(t)})ij ;
the simplest case is for types I, II, VIII, IX, in which g or β are diagonalizable; With some loss of generality,
gij = e−2Ω(t) diag(a(t), b(t), 1/ab) , βij = diag(β+ + 31/2 β−, β+ − 31/2 β−, − 2β+) .
