Is there a known parametrization for time dilation in the FLRW metric?

In summary, the conversation discusses the FLRW metric and a similar metric in spherical coordinates. They also mention the concept of conformal time and its relation to time dilation. The conversation also touches on the idea of gravitational time dilation and the evolution of the cosmic potential in relation to the metric. However, there is no conclusive answer to the question of the origin of the cosmological constant.

if an observer is in relative motion to the fundamental observer and to the fundamental observer the universe is homogeneous and isotropic. Am I correct in thinking that the com-moving observer would not see the universe as isotropic?

What you are calling the "fundamental observer" is what is usually called a "comoving observer". Those observers see the universe as homogeneous and isotropic. An observer in relative motion to the comoving observer in his vicinity will *not* see the universe as homogeneous and isotropic.
