Total conformal lifetime of a flat matter-Lambda universe

ID: total-conformal-lifetime-of-a-flat-matter-lambda-universe

Use , , positive pressureless matter and positive cosmological constant, with and no radiation. The Friedmann equation gives . Set , then . The remaining integral is , proving the formula by the beta function integral. Its two endpoints converge for positive densities, but the lifetime diverges in either pure-fluid limit.
