Abstract: | Singularities in vacuum spatially homogeneous cosmological models are investigated. It is shown that in general the curvature scalarR

R*abcddiverge and that the only solutions which have curvature singularities at which this scalar does not diverge describe certain plane-wave space-times. It is argued that with matter present these nonscalar singularities are even less likely to occur. The exceptional case of Bianchi type VI–1/9 is not considered. |
