Theoretical arguments and indications from recent observational data support the existence of an anisotropic phase that approaches an isotropic one. Therefore, it makes sense to consider models of a Universe with an initially anisotropic background. The anisotropic and homogeneous Bianchi models may provide adequate description of anisotropic phase in history of Universe. One particular type of such models is Bianchi type I (BI) homogeneous models whose spatial sections are flat, but the expansion rates are direction dependent, \[ds^2={c^2}dt^2-a^{2}_{1}(t)dx^2-a^{2}_{2}(t)dy^2-a^{2}_{3}(t)dz^2\] where $a_{1}$, $a_{2}$ and $a_{3}$ represent three different scale factors which are a function of time $t$.

Problem 1

problem id: bianchi_01

Find the field equations of the BI Universe.


Problem 2

problem id: bianchi_02

Find the partial energy densities for the two components of the BI Universe dominated by radiation and matter in terms of volume element $V_{rm}$.


Problem 3

problem id: bianchi_03

Obtain time evolution equation for the total volume $V_{rm}$ in the BI Universe dominated by radiation and matter.


Problem 4

problem id: bianchi_04

Using result of the previous problem, obtain a relation between the mean Hubble parameter and the volume element.
