Abstract

The results on the local existence and continuation criteria obtained by G. Rein are extended to the case with a non-zero cosmological constant. It is also shown that for the spherically symmetric case and a positive cosmological constant there is a large class of initial data with global existence and inflationary asymptotics in the future as in the case of plane or hyperbolic symmetry. Furthermore we analyze the behaviour of the energy-momentum tensor at late times.
