Phys. Rev. D 55, 1896–1900 (1997)Inflation for Bianchi type IX modelsReceived 5 August 1996; published in the issue dated 15 February 1997 The influence of inflation on the initial (i.e., at Planck’s epoch) large anisotropy of the Universe is studied. To this end we consider a more general metric than the isotropic one: the locally rotationally symmetric Bianchi type IX metric. We find, then, a large set of initial conditions of intrinsic curvature and shear allowing an inflationary epoch that make the anisotropy negligible. These are not trivial because of the nonlinearity of Einstein’s equations. © 1997 The American Physical Society URL:
