چکیده
In the present work we perform a phase-plane analysis of the complete dynamical system corresponding to a flat FRW cosmological models with a perfect fluid and a self-interacting scalar field and show that every positive and monotonous potential which is asymptotically exponential yields a scaling solution as a global attractor.

We present a phase-space analysis of cosmology containing multiple scalar fields with positive and negative exponential potentials. In addition to the well-known assisted inflationary solutions, there exist power-law multi-kinetic-potential scaling solutions for sufficiently flat positive potentials or steep negative potentials, which are the unique late-time attractor whenever they exist. We b...

We investigate the dynamical properties of a class of spatially homogeneous and isotropic cosmological models containing a barotropic perfect fluid and multiple scalar fields with independent exponential potentials. We show that the assisted inflationary scaling solution is the global late-time attractor for the parameter values for which the model is inflationary, even when curvature and barot...
متن کاملClassification of scalar field potentials with cosmological scaling solutions
An attractive method of obtaining an effective cosmological constant at the present epoch is through the potential energy of a scalar field. Considering models with a perfect fluid and a scalar field, we classify all potentials for which the scalar field energy density scales as a power law of the scale factor when the perfect fluid density dominates. There are three possibilities. The first tw...

We investigate cosmological dynamics of multiple tachyon fields with inverse square potentials. A phase-space analysis of the spatially flat FRW models shows that there exists a unique power-law cosmological scaling solution. We study the stability of the solution and find that the solution is a global attractor and a successful inflationary solution which is driven by multiple tachyon fields a...
