Conformal time in FLRW cosmology

Placeholder file collecting TODO items for the conformal time and the conformal Hubble factor of a Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker model. This file contains only TODO items; no definitions or lemmas are formalized yet.

@[expose] public sectionTODO "Define the conformal time `η` of an FLRW model by `a dη = dt`, that is `η(t) = ∫ dt'/a(t')`."TODO "Define the conformal Hubble factor `ℋ = a'/a` (the prime denotes the derivative with respect to conformal time) and prove `ℋ = a * H`, relating it to the Hubble parameter `H = ∂ₜ a / a`."TODO "State the FLRW metric in conformal time as `a(η)²` times a static metric, making its conformal flatness manifest."TODO "State the Friedmann and acceleration equations in conformal time: `ℋ² = (8πG/3) ρ a² + (Λc²/3) a² − K c²` and `a''/a = (4πG/3)(ρ − 3 P/c²) a² + (2Λc²/3) a² − K c²`."TODO "Prove the cosmic-to-conformal change of variables `f' = a * ∂ₜ f` (from `dt = a dη`) and use it to derive the conformal-time Friedmann and acceleration equations from their cosmic-time forms."
