Abstract
Nonlinear interactions between the two polarizations of the gravitational waves in the Gowdy T3 cosmology cause the generation of small-scale spatial structure from smooth initial data as the singularity is approached. The growth of this structure competes with the freezing of the spatial profile characteristic of the velocity dominated approach to the singularity conjectured for these models. Some properties of this phenomenon will be discussed.
