The recolapse problem of closed isotropic models in second order gravity theory |
Abstract _ |
We study the closed universe recollapse conjecture for positively curved Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) models in the Jordan frame of the second order gravity theory. We analyze the structure of the resulted four-dimensional dynamical system with the methods of the normal form theory. |
