Global dynamics of cosmological scalar fields – Part I

چکیده
We investigate the Liouvillian integrability of Hamiltonian systems describing a universe filled with a scalar field (possibly complex). The tool used is the differential Galois group approach, as introduced by Morales-Ruiz and Ramis. The main result is that the generic systems are non-integrable, although there still exist some values of parameters for which integrability remains undecided. We also draw a connection with chaos present in such cosmological models. The first part of the article deals with minimally coupled fields, and the second treats the conformal couping.

Global dynamics of cosmological scalar fields – Part II
This is the second part of integrability analysis of cosmological models with scalar fields. Here, we study systems with conformal coupling, and show that apart from four cases, where explicit first integrals are known, the generic system is not integrable. We also comment on some chaotic properties of the system, and the issues of integrability restricted to the real domain.
متن کاملFinite temperature correlation function of two dissipative massive scalar fields: Thermofield approach
The present paper aims at investigating the manner of two dissipative massive scalar fields. Two massive scalar fields that interact with a reservoir were considered and a reservoir was modeled by continuum Klein-Gordon fields. The Lagrangian of the total system was canonically quantized and the dynamics of the system was determined using the Euler-Lagrange equation. Then, the explicit form of the...

متن کاملEvolution of cosmological perturbations in the universe dominated by resonant scalar fields
Recently a Hamiltonian formulation for the evolution of the universe dominated by multiple oscillatory scalar fields was developed by the present author and was applied to the investigation of the evolution of cosmological perturbations on superhorizon scales in the case that scalar fields have incommensurable masses. In the present paper, the analysis is extended to the case in which the masse...
متن کاملGlobal Field Dynamics and Cosmological Structure Formation
In this contribution we discuss gravitational effects of global scalar fields and, especially, of global topological defects. We first give an introduction to the dynamics of global fields and the formation of defects. Next we investigate the induced gravitational fields, first in a flat background and then in the expanding universe. In flat space, we explicitly calculate the gravitational fiel...
