Description
The Mixmaster or Bianchi IX cosmological model has become one of the archetypal settings for studying gravitational dynamics. The past decade has seen a vigourous debate about whether or not the Mixmaster's dynamics is chaotic. In this talk we review our recent work in uncovering a chaotic invariant set of orbits in the Mixmaster phase space, and how we used this discovery to prove the dynamics is chaotic.
