What are main differencies between Bianchi models and Kantowski-Sachs models.
Can anyone give mathematical definition clearly and possibly simple form?

Yes, I meant ANisotropic, in both places! Thanks!utku said:I think you want to say homogeneous and anisotropic spaces.
The number of parameters in a group is the number of variables you need to specify to pick out a particular group element. For example the usual group of 3-d rotations acting on a sphere S - you can rotate the North pole P into any other point Q on the sphere, and you must give the latitude and longitude of Q - that's two parameters. But after doing that, you can still rotate through some angle ψ about Q, keeping Q fixed. That's a total of three parameters. And the group action on S is multiply transitive - since ψ can be anything, there are many group elements that map P into Q.utku said:Can you express more explicitly the term 3-parameters and 4-parameters groups please?
Bianchi models are a class of cosmological models in which the universe is homogeneous and anisotropic, meaning that it appears the same in all directions but not necessarily in the same way. These models are important in understanding the large-scale structure of the universe.
The standard cosmological model, known as the Lambda-CDM model, assumes that the universe is both homogeneous and isotropic, meaning that it appears the same in all directions and in the same way. Bianchi models, on the other hand, allow for anisotropy, which can have significant effects on the evolution of the universe.
The Kantowski-Sachs metric is a mathematical description of the spacetime geometry in Bianchi models. It is a special case of the more general Bianchi metric and is characterized by its anisotropic expansion rates in different directions.
The Kantowski-Sachs metric is significant because it allows for anisotropic expansion, which can have important implications for the evolution of the universe. It also allows for more complex and realistic models than the standard cosmological model, which can help us better understand the behavior of the universe.
Bianchi models and the Kantowski-Sachs metric are important tools for studying the large-scale structure of the universe. By comparing the predictions of these models to observations of the observable universe, we can better understand the evolution of the universe and its properties, such as the distribution of matter and energy.
