Abstract:The dynamics of any spherical cosmology with a scalar field ('scalaron') coupling to gravity is described by the nonlinear second-order differential equations for two metric functions and the scalaron depending on the 'time' parameter. The equations depend on the scalaron potential and on the arbitrary gauge function that describes time parameterizations. This dynamical system can be integrated for flat, isotropic models with very special potentials. But, somewhat unexpectedly, replacing the time variable t by… Show more
