✦ Synopsis

The global properties of spatially homogeneous cosmological models with collisionless matter are studied. It is shown that as long as the mean curvature of the hypersurfaces of homogeneity remains finite no singularity can occur in finite proper time as measured by observers whose worldlines are orthogonal to these hypersurfaces. Strong cosmic censorship is then proved for the Bianchi, Bianchi IX, and Kantowski-Sachs symmetry classes. 1994 Academic Press, Inc.
