Applying chaos indicators to Bianchi cosmological models

Using standard chaos indicators, we perform a numerical investigation of the Bianchi IX Universe in the limit where one of the structure constants tends to zero. In this limit, we recover Bianchi VII0, which can be obtained from a Lie algebra contraction. We find that in this limit, the chaoticity of the system is preserved, but the basin structures of the grid classification are changed. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd
