The dynamics of scalar-field Quintom cosmological models

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2022-11-21 v2

Abstract

We shall present a complete (compactified) dynamical systems analysis of the Quintom model comprised of an interacting quintessence scalar field and a phantom. We find a range for the model parameters κ,λ\kappa, \lambda such that there are expanding Quintom cosmologies that undergo two inflationary periods, and this behaviour is not destabilized by spatial curvature. We also discuss a class of bouncing cosmologies. Finally, the linear cosmological perturbations are studied.
