Inflationary Attractor in Braneworld Scenario

We demonstrate the attractor behavior of inflation driven by a scalar field or a tachyon field in the context of recently proposed four-dimensional effective gravity induced on the world-volume of a three-brane in five-dimensional Einstein gravity, and we obtain a set of exact inflationary solutions. Phase portraits indicate that an initial kinetic term decays rapidly and it does not prevent the onset of inflation. The trajectories more rapidly reach the slow-roll curve than in the standard cosmology.

Cosmological Scaling Solutions and Cross-coupling Exponential Potential

We present a phase-space analysis of cosmology containing multiple scalar fields with a positive or negative cross-coupling exponential potential. We show that there exist power-law kinetic-potential-scaling solutions for a sufficiently flat positive potential or for a steep negative potential. The former is the unique late-time attractor, but it is difficult to yield assisted inflation. The later is never stable in an expanding universe. Moreover, for a steep negative potential there exists a kinetic-dominated regime in which each solution is a late-time attractor. In the presence of ordinary matter these scaling solutions with a negative cross-coupling potential are found unstable. We briefly discuss the physical consequences of these results.

Cosmological Scaling Solutions and Multiple Exponential Potentials

We present a phase-space analysis of cosmology containing multiple scalar fields with positive and negative exponential potentials. We show that there exist power-law multi-kinetic-potential scaling solutions for sufficiently flat positive potentials or steep negative potentials. The former is the unique late-time attractor and the well-known assisted inflationary solution, but the later is never unstable in an expanding universe. Moreover, for steep negative potentials there exist a kinetic-dominated regime in which each solution is a late-time attractor. We briefly discuss the physical consequences of these results.

Inflationary Attractor from Tachyonic Matter

We study the complete evolution of a flat and homogeneous universe dominated by tachyonic matter. We demonstrate the attractor behaviour of the tachyonic inflation using the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism. We else obtain analytical approximations to the trajectories of the tachyon field in different regions. The numerical calculation shows that an initial non-vanishing momentum does not prevent the onset of inflation. The slow-rolling solution is an attractor.

United Approach to the Universe Model and the Local Gravitation Problem

A united approach of the large-scale structure of a closed universe and the local spherically symmetric gravitational field is given by supposing an appropriate boundary condition. The general feature of the model obtained are the following. The universe is approximately homogeneous and isotropic on the average on large scale and is expanding at present, as described by the standard model; while locally, the small exterior region of a star started long ago to contract, as expected by the gravitational collapse theory.
