Abstract

The generic behaviour of vacuum inhomogeneous Kaluza-Klein cosmologies is studied in the vicinity of the cosmological singularity. The collision law for the Kasner exponents is calculated in any number of spatial dimensions d. Its properties are investigated both theoretically and numerically. It is argued that the chaotic oscillatory behaviour disappears for d ⩾ 10. This regime is replaced by the monotonic Kasner behaviour found previously.
