Abstract

The early time behaviour of brane-world models is analysed in the presence of anisotropic stresses. It is shown that that the initial singularity cannot be isotropic, unless there is also an isotropic fluid stiffer than radiation present. Also, a magnetic Bianchi type I brane-world is analysed in detail. It is known that the Einstein equations for the magnetic Bianchi type I models are in general oscillatory and are believed to be chaotic, but in the brane-world model this chaotic behaviour does not seem to be possible.
