Cosmological Einstein-Lambda-perfect-fluid solutions with asymptotic dust or radiation equation of state

Abstract

This article introduces the notions of asymptotic dust and asymptotic radiation equations of state. With these non-linear generalizations of the well known dust or (incoherent) radiation equations of state the perfect-fluid equations loose any conformal covariance or privilege. We analyse the conformal field equations induced with these equations of state. It is shown that the Einstein-Lambda-perfect-fluid equations with an asymptotic radiation equation of state allow for large sets of data that develop into solutions which admit smooth conformal boundaries in the future and smooth extensions beyond.
