In the flat Lambda-CDM model,At low redshift, $H(z)=H_0+O(z)$, so the angular diameter distance satisfies $d_A(z)=z/H_0+O(z^2)$ and initially increases from zero. At high redshift, pressureless matter dominates and the integral converges:Thus the positive continuous function $d_A$ rises from zero and returns toward zero, so it attains an interior maximum. This is the angular diameter distance turnover; beyond it, a fixed physical size appears larger at higher redshift.

If the variable dark-energy equation of state differs slightly from $-1$, matter still controls the large-$z$ expansion, while the same low-$z$ limit holds. The turnover therefore persists under such a small change. More generally, it persists whenever the high-redshift comoving distance grows more slowly than $1+z$.

When $H\ll m_{\sigma }$ over an oscillation, the background equation reduces toTime averaging gives $⟨{\dot{\bar{\sigma }}}^2⟩=m_{\sigma }^2⟨{\bar{\sigma }}^2⟩$, henceThe oscillating quadratic scalar is therefore pressureless matter. Its continuity equation giveswith the slowly varying amplitude obeying $\Sigma \propto a^{-3/2}$.

In a flat universe containing separately conserved radiation in cosmology and pressureless matter, the Friedmann equation becomes $(a^{\prime }{)}^2=H_0^2({\Omega }_{r,0}+{\Omega }_{m,0}a)$ in conformal time. Setting $a=0$ at $\tau =0$ gives the stated quadratic-plus-linear scale factor. The linear term controls radiation domination and the quadratic term controls matter domination. The formula presumes $a_0=1$, ${\Omega }_{r,0}+{\Omega }_{m,0}=1$ and no cosmological constant.

Use $c=1$, $a_0=1$, positive pressureless matter and positive cosmological constant, with ${\Omega }_m+{\Omega }_{\Lambda }=1$ and no radiation. The Friedmann equation gives ${\chi }_{\max }=H_0^{-1}{\int }_0^{\infty }dy/({\Omega }_{\Lambda }+{\Omega }_m{y}^3{)}^{1/2}$. Set $y=({\Omega }_{\Lambda }/{\Omega }_m{)}^{1/3}u$, then $v=u^3$. The remaining integral is $\frac{1}{3}{\int }_0^{\infty }{v}^{-2/3}(1+v{)}^{-1/2}dv=\frac{1}{3}B(1/3,1/6)$, proving the formula by the beta function integral. Its two endpoints converge for positive densities, but the lifetime diverges in either pure-fluid limit.
