An exact quantification of backreaction in relativistic cosmology

An exact quantification of backreaction in relativistic cosmology

An important open question in cosmology is the degree to which the Friedmann-Lema\^{\i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) solutions of Einstein's equations are able to model the large-scale behavior of the locally inhomogeneous observable universe. We investigate this problem by considering a range of exact n-body solutions of Einstein's constraint equations. These solutions contain …
