A powerful result in theoretical cosmology states that a subset of anisotropic Bianchi models can be seen as the homogeneous limit of (standard) linear cosmological perturbations. Such models are precisely those leading to Friedmann spacetimes in the limit of zero anisotropy. Building on previous works, we give a comprehensive exposition of this result, and perform the detailed identification between anisotropic degrees of freedom and their corresponding scalar, vector, and tensor perturbations of standard perturbation theory. In particular, we find that anisotropic models very close to open (i.e., negatively curved) Friedmann spaces correspond to some type of super-curvature perturbations. As a consequence, provided anisotropy is mild, its effects on all types of cosmological observables can always be computed as simple extensions of the standard techniques used in relativistic perturbation theory around Friedmann models. This fact opens the possibility to consistently constrain, for all cosmological observables, the presence of large scale anisotropies on the top of the stochastic fluctuations.

In this paper the dynamics of free gauge fields in Bianchi type I-VII$_{h}$ space-times is investigated. The general equations for a matter sector consisting of a $p$-form field strength ($p,in,{1,3}$), a cosmological constant ($4$-form) and perfect fluid in Bianchi type I-VII$_{h}$ space-times are computed using the orthonormal frame method. The number of independent components of a $p$-form in all Bianchi types I-IX are derived and, by means of the dynamical systems approach, the behaviour of such fields in Bianchi type I and V are studied. Both a local and a global analysis are performed and strong global results regarding the general behaviour are obtained. New self-similar cosmological solutions appear both in Bianchi type I and Bianchi type V, in particular, a one-parameter family of self-similar solutions,Wonderland ($lambda$) appears generally in type V and in type I for $lambda=0$. Depending on the value of the equation of state parameter other new stable solutions are also found (The Rope and The Edge) containing a purely spatial field strength that rotates relative to the co-moving inertial tetrad. Using monotone functions, global results are given and the conditions under which exact solutions are (global) attractors are found.
The observed temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background can be traced back to primordial curvature modes that are sourced by adiabatic and/or entropic matter perturbations. In this paper, we explore the entropic mechanism in the cont ext of non-singular bouncing cosmologies. We show that curvature modes are naturally generated during `graceful exit, i.e., when the smoothing slow contraction phase ends and the universe enters the bounce stage. Here, the key role is played by the kinetic energy components that come to dominate the energy density and drive the evolution towards the cosmological bounce.
We study general dynamical equations describing homogeneous isotropic cosmologies coupled to a scalaron $psi$. For flat cosmologies ($k=0$), we analyze in detail the gauge-independent equation describing the differential, $chi(alpha)equivpsi^prime(al pha)$, of the map of the metric $alpha$ to the scalaron field $psi$, which is the main mathematical characteristic locally defining a `portrait of a cosmology in `$alpha$-version. In the `$psi$-version, a similar equation for the differential of the inverse map, $bar{chi}(psi)equiv chi^{-1}(alpha)$, can be solved asymptotically or for some `integrable scalaron potentials $v(psi)$. In the flat case, $bar{chi}(psi)$ and $chi(alpha)$ satisfy the first-order differential equations depending only on the logarithmic derivative of the potential. Once we know a general analytic solution for one of these $chi$-functions, we can explicitly derive all characteristics of the cosmological model. In the $alpha$-version, the whole dynamical system is integrable for $k eq 0$ and with any `$alpha$-potential, $bar{v}(alpha)equiv v[psi(alpha)]$, replacing $v(psi)$. There is no a priori relation between the two potentials before deriving $chi$ or $bar{chi}$, which implicitly depend on the potential itself, but relations between the two pictures can be found by asymptotic expansions or by inflationary perturbation theory. Explicit applications of the results to a more rigorous treatment of the chaotic inflation models and to their comparison with the ekpyrotic-bouncing ones are outlined in the frame of our `$alpha$-formulation of isotropic scalaron cosmologies. In particular, we establish an inflationary perturbation expansion for $chi$. When all the conditions for inflation are satisfied and $chi$ obeys a certain boundary (initial) condition, we get the standard inflationary parameters, with higher-order corrections.
We propose a large class of nonsingular cosmologies of arbitrary spatial curvature whose cosmic history is determined by a primeval dynamical $Lambda (t)$-term. For all values of the curvature, the models evolve between two extreme de Sitter phases d riven by the relic time-varying vacuum energy density. The transition from inflation to the radiation phase is universal and points to a natural solution of the graceful exit problem regardless of the values of the curvature parameter. The flat case recovers the scenario recently discussed in the literature (Perico et al., Phys. Rev. D88, 063531, 2013). The early de Sitter phase is characterized by an arbitrary energy scale $H_I$ associated to the primeval vacuum energy density. If $H_I$ is fixed to be nearly the Planck scale, the ratio between the relic and the present observed vacuum energy density is $rho_{vI}/rho_{v0} simeq 10^{123}$.
SU(2) gauge fields coupled to an axion field can acquire an isotropic background solution during inflation. We study homogeneous but anisotropic inflationary solutions in the presence of such (massless) gauge fields. A gauge field in the cosmological background may pose a threat to spatial isotropy. We show, however, that such models $textit{generally}$ isotropize in Bianchi type-I geometry, and the isotropic solution is the attractor. Restricting the setup by adding an axial symmetry, we revisited the numerical analysis presented in Wolfson et.al (2020). We find that the reported numerical breakdown in the previous analysis is an artifact of parametrization singularity. We use a new parametrization that is well-defined all over the phase space. We show that the system respects the cosmic no-hair conjecture and the anisotropies always dilute away within a few e-folds.
