= Dust relation between deceleration and density
{title2=$q=\Omega_m/2$}

For <pressureless matter> with zero <cosmological constant>, the <Friedmann acceleration equation> gives $q=4\pi G\rho/(3H^2)=\Omega_m/2$. Spatial curvature need not vanish. Consequently $kc^2/a^2=(2q-1)H^2$; this relation does not hold for a general fluid mixture.
