Abstract | A class of purely magnetic diagonal Bianchi type VI h Cosmologies is investigated. If the energy-momentum tensor is specialized to that of a perfect fluid with (non-zero) heat-flux, with respect to the co-moving fluid 4-velocity, then the only solution is of Bianchi type V and un-physical. Further, it is shown that if certain metric functions are functionally related then the spacetime is conformally flat. Unfortunately, all these results (somewhat indirectly) invalidate a claim by Kumar and Srivastava of finding a non-conformally flat purely magnetic diagonal Bianchi type V cosmology. Finally, we consider non-zero anisotropic pressure in place of non-zero heat flux. It is shown that these spacetimes are necessarily Bianchi type VI 0. We highlight the fact that there is a known solution that generalizes the purely magnetic perfect fluid Wylleman-Van den Bergh spacetime. Physical properties of this solution are discussed. |
