From the authors' abstract: We prove a global existence theorem, in the direction of cosmological expansion, for sufficiently small perturbations of a family of \(n+1\)-dimensional, spatially compact space-times, which generalizes the \(k=-1\) Friedman-LemaƮtre-Robertson-Walker vacuum space-time. The background space-times considered are Lorentz cones over negative Einstein spaces of dimension \(n \geq 3\). The results of the present paper demonstrate causal geodesic completeness of the perturbed space-times in the expanding direction, and show that the scale-free geometry converges toward an element in the moduli space of Einstein geometries, with a rate of decay depending on the stability properties of the Einstein geometry.
