Homogeneous Bianchi type VI0 perfect fluid space-times

Abstract

An algorithm is presented for generating new exact solutions of the Einstein equations for spatially homogeneous cosmological models of Bianchi type VI0. The energy-momentum tensor is of perfect fluid type. Starting from Dunn and Tupper's dust-filled universe, new classes of solutions are obtained. The solutions represent anisotropic universes filled with perfect fluid not satisfying the equation of state. Some of their physical properties are studied. © 1989 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
