Spatially Homogeneous Dynamics: a Unified Picture
نویسنده
چکیده
The Einstein equations for a perfect fluid spatially homogeneous spacetime are studied in a unified manner by retaining the generality of certain parameters whose discrete values correspond to the various Bianchi types of spatial homogeneity. A parameter dependent decomposition of the metric variables adapted to the symmetry breaking effects of the nonabelian Bianchi types on the “free dynamics” leads to a reduction of the equations of motion for those variables to a 2-dimensional time dependent Hamiltonian system containing various time dependent potentials which are explicitly described and diagrammed. These potentials are extremely useful in deducing the gross features of the evolution of the metric vari-

Phantom cosmology with general potentials
We present a unified treatment of the phase space of a spatially flat homogeneous and isotropic universe dominated by a phantom field. Results on the dynamics and the late time attractors (Big Rip, de Sitter, etc.) are derived without specifying the form of the phantom potential, using only general assumptions on its shape. Many results found in the literature are quickly recovered and predicti...
متن کاملThe Dynamical Degrees of Freedom in Spatially Homogeneous Cosmology*
The true analogues of superspace and conformal superspace for spatially homogeneous cosmology are introduced and discussed in relation to the kinematics of the evolution of Cauchy data from a spatially homogeneous initial value surface using a spatially homogeneous lapse function. Having fixed the slicing of spatially homogeneous spacetimes to be the natural one, an obvious restriction on the f...
متن کاملOscillatory Behaviour in Homogeneous String Cosmology Models
Some spatially homogeneous Bianchi type I cosmological models filled with homogeneous “electric” p-form fields are shown to mimic the never-ending oscillatory behaviour of generic string cosmologies established recently. The validity of the “Kasner-free-flights plus collisions-on-potential-walls” picture is also illustrated in the case of known, non-chaotic, superstring solutions.
متن کاملHopf bifurcation analysis of a diffusive predator-prey model with Monod-Haldane response
In this paper, we have studied the diffusive predator-prey model with Monod-Haldane functional response. The stability of the positive equilibrium and the existence of Hopf bifurcation are investigated by analyzing the distribution of eigenvalues without diffusion. We also study the spatially homogeneous and non-homogeneous periodic solutions through all parameters of the system which are spati...
متن کاملDynamics of the spatially homogeneous Bianchi type I Einstein-Vlasov equations
We investigate the dynamics of spatially homogeneous solutions of the EinsteinVlasov equations with Bianchi type I symmetry by using dynamical systems methods. All models are forever expanding and isotropize toward the future; toward the past there exists a singularity. We identify and describe all possible past asymptotic states; in particular, on the past attractor set we establish the existe...
