Their common point of view is a similarity with a mechanical problem: the motion of a point mass in a space with boundary. This explains the title of this paper: the solutions often behave like a billiard ball having a couple of reflections at the boundary before vanishing in the hole. Typically, the examples are of spatially homogeneous geometry, and already the vacuum case gives interesting details. In other papers, the notion ``mixmaster model'' is used for this kind of solutions."},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2026-03-30T12:30:40Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
