Figure 3:
Contour plot of the Bianchi type IX
potential
, where
are the anisotropy canonical
coordinates. Seven level surfaces
are shown at equally spaced decades ranging from
to
.
For large isocontours (
), the potential is open and
exhibits a strong triangular symmetry
with three narrow channels
extending to spatial infinity. For
, the potential closes and
is
approximately circular for
