In this work we study the existence of mechanisms of transition to global chaos in a closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe with a massive conformally coupled scalar field. We propose a complexification of the radius of the universe so…
We show that the dynamics of a spatially closed Friedmann - Robertson - Walker Universe conformally coupled to a real, free, massive scalar field, is chaotic, for large enough field amplitudes. We do so by proving that this system is…
Much of the foundational work on quantum cosmology employs a simple minisuperspace model describing a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe containing a massive scalar field. We show that the classical limit of this model exhibits…
This paper considers some physically interesting cosmological dynamical systems in the FRW-scalarfield category which are examined for integrability according to the criterion of Painlev\'e. In the literature these systems have been…
For dynamical systems of dimension three or more the question of integrability or nonintegrability is extended by the possibility of chaotic behaviour in the general solution. We determine the integrability of isotropic cosmological models…
Chaos in Robertson-Walker cosmological models where gravity is coupled to one or more scalar fields has been studied by a few authors, mostly using numerical simulations. In this paper we begin a systematic study of the analytical aspect.…
An oscillating, compact Friedmann universe with a massive conformally coupled scalar field is studied in the framework of quantum cosmology. The scalar field is treated as a perturbation and we look for solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt…
Universe structure emerges in the unreduced, complex-dynamical interaction process with the simplest initial configuration (two attracting homogeneous fields). The unreduced interaction analysis avoiding any perturbative model gives…
A recent paper by Castagnino, Giacomini and Lara concludes that there is no chaos in a conformally coupled closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe, which is in apparent contradiction with previous works. We point out that although…
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…
We study the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker model with phantom fields modelled in terms of scalar fields. We apply the Ziglin theory of integrability and find that the flat model is nonintegrable. Then we cannot expect to determine simple…
A major challenge at the interface of quantum gravity and cosmology is to explain the emergence of the large-scale structure of the Universe from Planck scale physics. In this letter, we extract the dynamics of scalar isotropic cosmological…
In this work we use a recently developed nonintegrability theorem of Morales and Ramis to prove that the Friedmann Robertson Walker cosmological model with a conformally coupled massive scalar field is nonintegrable.
We consider the coupled Einstein-Maxwell-Boltzmann system with cosmological constant in presence of a massive scalar field. The background metric is that of Friedman-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker space time in the spatially homogeneous case…
Dynamical systems methods are used to investigate global behavior of the spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmological model in gravitational theory with a non-minimally coupled scalar field and a constant potential function. We…
We derive the renormalized nonequilibrium equations of motion for a scalar field and its quantum back reaction in a conformally flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe. We use a fully covariant formalism proposed by us recently for…
There is good evidence that full general relativity is non-integrable or even chaotic. We point out the severe repercussions: differentiable Dirac observables and a reduced phase space do not exist in non-integrable constrained systems and…
We apply the effective approach to evaluating semiclassical relational dynamics to the closed Friedman--Robertson--Walker cosmological model filled with a minimally coupled massive scalar field. This model is interesting for studying…
In this paper we present a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmological model conformally coupled to a massive scalar field where the WKB approximation fails to reproduce the exact solution to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for large Universes. The…
We analyze solutions to Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmologies in Brans-Dicke theory, where a scalar field is coupled to gravity. Matter is modelled by a $\gamma$-law perfect fluid, including false-vacuum energy as a special case. Through a…
