This volume in the series of Oxford Mathematical Monographs contains a general introduction to the Cauchy problem for the Einstein–Vlasov system, a proof of future stability spatially of locally homogeneous solutions, and a demonstration that there are models of the universe that are consistent with the observations but have arbitrary compact spatial topology. It includes a general description of results in the area, relevant to mathematicians and physicists with knowledge of general relativity.
