Talk Title

Regular and chaotic regimes in scalar field cosmology

Abstract

We consider a dynamical system describing evolution of a closed isotropic Universe in the presence of a scalar field. Several types of dynamics can be identified: for a power-law scalar field potentials a transient chaos exists, for exponentially steep potentials it can disappear, for shallow potentials ($V \sim \phi^{\alpha}$ with $\alpha< 1.2$) islands of regular dynamics appear in the chaotic "sea". Some simple analitical criteria for chaos to exist in this system are described.
