We show that the energy-momentum tensor of homogeneous fields of arbitrary spin in an expanding universe is always isotropic in average provided the fields remain bounded and evolve rapidly compared to the rate of expansion. An analytic expression for the average equation of state is obtained for Lagrangians with generic power-law kinetic and potential terms. As an example we consider the behavior of a spin-two field in the standard Fierz-Pauli theory of massive gravity. The results can be extended to general space-time geometries for locally inertial observers.

Isotropic universes with a preferred direction
A tuned vector-field EFT can have an exactly isotropic FLRW background while hiding a preferred direction that reappears in perturbations as direction-dependent propagation and scalar–tensor mixing.

Fate of scalar dark matter solitons around supermassive galactic black holes
A self-interacting scalar dark matter soliton around a supermassive black hole settles into a unique critical accretion flow with flux ~ r_s^2 m^4 / λ4 and survives for many Hubble times.
