In this paper we consider the single patch pseudo-spectral scheme for tensorial and spinorial evolution problems on the 2-sphere presented in [3,4] which is based on the spin-weighted spherical harmonics transform. We apply and extend this method to
Einsteins equations and certain classes of spherical cosmological spacetimes. More specifically, we use the hyperbolic reductions of Einsteins equations obtained in the generalized wave map gauge formalism combined with Gerochs symmetry reduction, and focus on cosmological spacetimes with spatial S3-topologies and symmetry groups U(1) or U(1) x U(1). We discuss analytical and numerical issues related to our implementation. We test our code by reproducing the exact inhomogeneous cosmological solutions of the vacuum Einstein field equations obtained in [7].
