Show affiliationsIsotropic cosmological singularities are singularities which can be removed by rescaling the metric. In some cases already studied, the existence and uniqueness of cosmological models with data at the singularity has been established (Anguige K and Tod K P 1999 Ann. Phys., NY 276 257–93, 294–320, Anguige K 2000 Ann. Phys., NY 285 395–419). These were cosmologies with, as source, either perfect fluids with linear equations of state or massless, collisionless particles. In this paper, we consider how to extend these results to a variety of other matter models. These are scalar fields, massive collisionless matter, the Yang–Mills plasma given by Choquet-Bruhat (Choquet-Bruhat Y 1996 Yang–Mills plasmas Global Structure and Evolution in General Relativity (Springer Lecture Notes in Physics vol 460) ed S Cotsakis and G W Gibbons (Berlin: Springer)) and matter satisfying the Einstein–Boltzmann equation.
