A primordial inflationary phase allows one to erase any possible anisotropic expansion thanks to the cosmic no-hair theorem. If there is no global anisotropic stress, then the anisotropic expansion rate tends to decrease. What are the observational consequences of a possible early anisotropic phase? We first review the dynamics of anisotropic universes and report analytic approximations. We then discuss the structure of dynamical equations for perturbations and the statistical properties of observables, as well as the implication of a primordial anisotropy on the quantization of these perturbations during inflation. Finally we briefly review models based on primordial vector field which evade the cosmic no-hair theorem.

  1. Bianchi cosmologies in a Thurston-based theory of gravity

    gr-qc 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a Thurston-geometry-dependent gravity theory, non-tilted BKS cosmologies admit shear-free perfect-fluid and static vacuum solutions for all topologies, isotropize under positive Lambda except for some Bianchi II ca...

  2. Intrinsic Torsion, Extrinsic Torsion, and the Hubble Parameter

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The second fundamental form of a spatial slice in a torsional spacetime is a sum of the Hubble term and an extrinsic torsion term, producing a negative bias in Hubble estimates when torsion is neglected.

  3. Kaluza-Klein inspired a model of the inflation with the inversed power law potential in Bianchi type-I universe

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    For a Kaluza-Klein inspired vector-scalar model in Bianchi type-I with inverse power-law potential, center manifold theory shows the isotropic scalar-dominated point E is a stable attractor, supporting isotropization.
