Abstract
We present some results concerning the vacuum cosmological models which admit a 2-dimensional Abelian group of isometries : classifications of these space- times based on the topological nature of their spacelike hypersurfaces and on their time evolution, analysis of the asymptotical behaviours at spatial infinity for hyperbolical models as well as in the neighbourhood of the singularity for the models possessing a time singularity during their evolution.
