Abstract
Abstract In this paper, we study cosmological solutions to the Einstein–Euler equations. We first establish the future stability of nonlinear perturbations of a class of homogeneous solutions to the relativistic Euler equations on fixed linearly expanding cosmological spacetimes with a linear equation of state $p=K \rho $ for the parameter values $K \in (0,1/3)$. This removes the restriction to irrotational perturbations in earlier work [ 15] and relies on a novel transformation of the fluid variables that is well-adapted to Fuchsian methods. We then apply this new transformation to show the global regularity and stability of the Milne spacetime under the coupled Einstein–Euler equations, again with a linear equation of state $p=K \rho $, $K \in (0,1/3)$. Our proof requires a correction mechanism to account for the spatially curved geometry. In total, this is indicative that structure formation in cosmological fluid-filled spacetimes requires an epoch of decelerated expansion.
