Abstract
A very general cosmological solution to Einstein's equations exhibiting sensitive dependence on initial data is analyzed as a dynamical system. The metric and topologic entropies of the one-dimensional Poincaré map are determined and various results in number theory employed to calculate other invariants of the "chaotic" cosmological dynamics.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
