Abstract [en]
We present the 1+3 Hubble-normalized conformal orthonormal frame approach to Einstein field equations, and specialize it to a source that consists of perfect fluids with general barotropic equations of state. We use this framework to give specific mathematical content to conjectures about generic spacelike singularities that were originally introduced by Belinskii, Khalatnikov and Lifshitz. Assuming that the conjectures hold, we derive results about how the properties of fluids and generic spacelike singularities affect each other.
