Abstract

For perturbed Friedmann models of vanishing and positive curvature the time development of shear is computed by means of a linear perturbation theory. As for the smallness of the perturbation functions mathematically exact and physically meaningful conditions are stated. The shear is computed for different stages of the universe.
