Universal cosmologies

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
Abstract Universal cosmologies are exact solutions of 10d type IIA supergravity containing a 4d Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker factor, that can also be repackaged as solutions of 4d models, i.e. as 4d consistent truncations.
