While the use of numerical general relativity for modeling astrophysical phenomena and compact objects is commonplace, the application to cosmological scenarios is only just beginning. Here, we examine the expansion of a spacetime using the Baumgarte-Shapiro-Shibata-Nakamura (BSSN) formalism of numerical relativity in synchronous gauge. This work represents the first numerical cosmological study that is fully relativistic, non-linear and without symmetry. The universe that emerges exhibits an average Friedmann-Lema\"itre-Robertston-Walker (FLRW) behavior, however this universe also exhibits locally inhomogeneous expansion beyond that expected in linear perturbation theory around a FLRW background.

  1. Einstein-Vlasov Calculations of Structure Formation

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Full Einstein-Vlasov simulations show Newtonian N-body collapse is faster than general relativity for extreme density perturbations, but accurate at subpercent level for standard cosmological amplitudes.

  2. Impact of inhomogeneous curvature on growth rate measurements from magnitude fluctuations

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Full-GR simulations find that inhomogeneous curvature produces only sub-dominant systematic offsets in growth-rate measurements from magnitude fluctuations at z ≲ 0.2 relative to current statistical errors.
