Abstract: We prove the nonlinear stability in the contracting direction of Friedmann-Lema^itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) solutions to the Einstein-scalar field equations in $ngeq3$ spacetime dimensions that are defined on spacetime manifolds of the form $(0,t_0]imesmathbb{T}^{n-1}$, $t_0>0$. Stability is established under the assumption that the initial data is extit{synchronized}, which means that on the initial hypersurface $Sigma=t_{0}imesmathbb{T}^{n-1}$ the scalar field $$ is constant, that is, $Sigma=a{u}^{-1}(t_0)$. As we show that all initial data sets that are sufficiently close to FRLW ones can be evolved via the Einstein-scalar field equation into new initial data sets that are extit{synchronized}, no generality is lost by this assumption. By using $au$ as a time coordinate, we establish that the perturbed FLRW spacetime manifolds are of the form $$, the perturbed FLRW solutions are asymptotically pointwise Kasner as $ausearrow0$, and a big bang singularity, characterised by the blow up of the scalar curvature, occurs at $au=0$. An important aspect of our stability proof is that we use a hyperbolic gauge reduction of the Einstein-scalar field equations. As a consequence, all of the estimates used in the stability proof can be localized and we employ this property to establish a corresponding localized stability result for the FLRW solutions.
