Scalar field cosmology in phase space

Using dynamical systems methods, we describe the evolution of a minimally coupled scalar field and a Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker universe in the context of general relativity, which is relevant for inflation and late-time quintessence eras. Focussing on the spatially flat case, we examine th...

description Using dynamical systems methods, we describe the evolution of a minimally coupled scalar field and a Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker universe in the context of general relativity, which is relevant for inflation and late-time quintessence eras. Focussing on the spatially flat case, we examine the geometrical structure of the phase space, locate the equilibrium points of the system (de Sitter spaces with a constant scalar field), study their stability through both a third-order perturbation analysis and Lyapunov functions, and discuss the late-time asymptotics. As we do not specify the scalar field’s origin or its potential, the results are independent of the high-energy model.
