The existence of Friedmann limits is systematically investigated for all the hypersurface-homogeneous rotating dust models, presented in previous papers by this author. Limiting transitions that involve a change of the Bianchi type are included. Except for stationary models that obviously do not allow it, the Friedmann limit expected for a given Bianchi type exists in all cases. Each of the 3 Friedmann models has parents in the rotating class; the k = +1 model has just one parent class, the other two each have several parent classes. The type IX class is the one investigated in 1951 by Gödel. For each model, the consecutive limits of zero rotation, zero tilt, zero shear and spatial isotropy are explicitly calculated.I. Motivation and summary of the method.In previous papers 1−3 a complete set of all metric forms was derived that can represent hypersurface-homogeneous rotating dust models. For each case, the generators of the symmetry algebra were found, the Bianchi type determined, and the metric form resulting from the Killing equations was explicitly presented. That classification was more detailed than the Bianchi classification because all possible orientations of the symmetry orbits in the spacetime were allowed, i.e. the orbits could be spacelike, timelike or null.In a later paper 4 , one of the Bianchi type V models was investigated. Among the problems considered there was the question whether the model can reproduce the k = −1 Friedmann model in the limit of zero rotation, ω → 0. Since the coordinates that are well-suited to the classification are not suitable at all for considering the limit ω → 0, this limit could be taken only after a coordinate change and reparametrization of the metric.In the present paper, the existence of the Friedmann limits is systematically investigated for all the other cases found in the classification in Refs. 1-3. The Bianchi type is allowed to change in the limiting transition. In all Bianchi type I cases the velocity field is tangent to the symmetry orbits, i.e. those models have matter density constant along the flow, and *
