Abstract:We describe three different regimes in the cosmological dynamics of a Universe filled with a scalar field. In particular, we claim the existence of a stable periodic solution, which has been found numerically for the case of a shallow scalar field potential. It is known from the 70ies of the last century that contraction phase of a closed Universe filled with a massive scalar field can be followed by expansion for some particular initial condition set [1,2]. On the other hand, every expansion stage of such a u… Show more
