On the Limit Cycle of an Inflationary Universe
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the dynamics of a scalar inflaton field with a symmetric double– well potential and prove rigorously the existence of a limit cycle in its phase space. By using analytical and numerical arguments we show that the limit cycle is stable and give an analytical formula for its period.

Instabilities, Point Attractors and Limit Cycles in a Inflationary Universe
We study the stability of a scalar inflaton field and analyze its point attractors in the phase space. We show that the value of the inflaton field in the vacuum is a bifurcation parameter and prove the possible existence of a limit cycle by using analytical and numerical arguments.

متن کاملAn efficient method to control the amplitude of the limit cycle in satellite attitude control system
In this paper, an efficient method is presented to control the attitude of a satellite with ON-OFF actuator. The main objective of this novel method is to control the amplitude of the limit cycle which commonly appears in the steady state of such systems; and at the same time by consideration of real actuator constraints, reduce the fuel consumption of system. The Proposed method is a combinati...
متن کاملde Sitter limit of inflation and nonlinear perturbation theory
We study the fourth order action of comoving curvature perturbations in an inflationary universe in order to understand more systematically the de Sitter limit in nonlinear cosmological perturbation theory. We derive the action of the curvature perturbations to fourth order in the comoving gauge, and show that it vanishes sufficiently fast in the de Sitter limit. By studying the de Sitter limit...

We consider a string inspired effective Lagrangian for the graviton and dilaton, containing Einstein gravity at the zero slope limit. The numerical solution of the problem shows asymptotically an inflationary universe. The time is measured by the dilaton, as one expects. The result is independent of the introduction of ad-hoc self interactions for the dilaton field.
متن کاملBounds on Vacuum Energy Densityin a General Cosmological Scenario
General limits on the cosmological constant (or equivalently the vacuum energy density) are derived for an inflationary universe. This is accomplished under the general assumption of global hyperbolicity and without the use of any special properties like spherical symmetry or homogeneity ofthe underlying spacetime. A clear upper limit of 1/3 is obtained for the vacuum energy density parameterQ~...
