A regime of linear stability for the Einstein-scalar field system with applications to nonlinear Big Bang formation

We linearize the Einstein-scalar field equations, expressed relative to constant mean curvature (CMC)-transported spatial coordinates gauge, around members of the well-known family of Kasner solutions on (0;∞) × T[superscript 3]. The Kasner solutions model a spatially uniform scalar field evolving i...
