Exponential decay for small nonlinear perturbations of expanding flat homogeneous cosmologies

Exponential decay for small nonlinear perturbations of expanding flat homogeneous cosmologies

It is shown that during expanding phases of flat homogeneous cosmologies all small enough non-linear perturbations decay exponentially. This result holds for a large class of perfect fluid equations of state, but notably not for very ``stiff'' fluids as the pure radiation case.
