100 years ago, Friedmann and Kasner discovered the first exact cosmological solutions to Einstein’s field equations, revealing the presence of a striking new phenomenon, namely, the Big Bang singularity. Since then, it has been the object of study in a great deal of research on general relativity. However, the nature of the ‘generic’ Big Bang singularity still remains a mystery. Rivaling scenarios are abound (monotonicity, chaos, spikes) that make the classification of all solutions a very intricate problem. I will give a historic overview of the subject and describe recent progress that confirms a small part of the conjectural picture.

This talk is part of the Partial Differential Equations seminar series.
