Abstract:The present work is a phase-plane analysis of LRS Bianchi type I cosmological model with a scalar field and exponential potential. The evolution equations are reduced to an autonomous system of ordinary equations by suitable transformation of variables. We also analyse the evolution of the effective equation of state parameter for different values of curvature. The nature of critical points is analysed and stable attractors are examined from the point of view of cosmology.

Dynamical system approach have also been used to study bouncing and cyclic universes in different cosmological set-ups in literature [11,28,[37][38][39][40].…”

We investigate the dynamical evolution of homogeneous and isotropic flat-FRW universe filled with a barotropic fluid satisfying linear equation of state in Rastall gravity. Using dynamical system approach, we find the fixed points of the system and study their stability. We further explore the thermodynamic aspects at the apparent horizon by investigating the validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics with equilibrium description.

We apply the Dirac procedure for constrained systems to the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formalism linearized around the Bianchi I universe. We discuss and employ basic concepts such as Dirac observables, Dirac brackets, gauge-fixing conditions, reduced phase space, physical Hamiltonian, canonical isomorphism between different gauge-fixing surfaces and spacetime reconstruction. We relate this approach to the gauge-fixing procedure for non-perturbative canonical relativity. We discuss the issue of propagating a basis for the scalar-vector-tensor decomposition as, in an anisotropic universe, the wavefronts of plane waves undergo a non-trivial evolution. We show that the definition of a gravitational wave as a traceless-transverse mode of the metric perturbation needs to be revised. Moreover there exist coordinate systems in which a polarization mode of the gravitational wave is given entirely in terms of a scalar metric perturbation. We first develop the formalism for the universe with a single minimally coupled scalar field and then extend it to the multi-field case. The obtained fully canonical formalism will serve as a starting point for a complete quantization of the cosmological perturbations and the cosmological background.
“…Recently, the Higgs field existence was confirmed in laboratory [24,25], which has optimized the possibility of existence of other scalar fields, such as quintessence for example, which are named scalar fields responsible for the Universe dynamics [26][27][28][29]. Scalar field models are also approached in the study of false vacuum transitions [30,31], which, for instance, concern to statistical mechanics and also cosmology, the latter because the transition from false to true vacua can be interpreted as transitions between different stages of the Universe dynamics [32].…”
Extradimensional models are achieving their highest popularity nowadays, among other reasons, because they can plausible explain some standard cosmology issues, such as the cosmological constant and hierarchy problems. In extradimensional models, we can infer that the four-dimensional matter rises as a geometric manifestation of the extra coordinate. In this way, although we still cannot see the extra dimension, we can relate it to physical quantities that are able to exert such a mechanism of matter induction in the observable universe. In this work we propose that scalar fields are those physical quantities. The models here presented are purely geometrical in the sense that no matter lagrangian is assumed and even the scalar fields are contained in the extradimensional metric. The results are capable of describing different observable cosmic features and yield an alternative to ultimately understand the extra dimension and the mechanism in which it is responsible for the creation of matter in the observable universe.
