In this paper we investigate a tachyon field model in cosmology, provided its interaction with the quintessence or phantom fields. The model takes into account this interaction beyond the usual approach, in which the interaction is phenomenologically described by the energy flow between the matter components. In our model, the interaction of tachyon field with a canonical scalar field is taken into account through the interaction potential in the total Lagrangian of the system, like in the case of two or more canonical scalar fields. We obtain the different types of exact solution for the model by employing the so-called "first order formalism" procedures.

In this paper, I show that there exists a new way to obtain scalar–tensor field theories by combining a special scalar field on the cotangent bundle with a scalar field on spacetime. These two scalar fields act as a generating function for the metric tensor. When using these two scalar fields in the Horndeski Lagrangians, we discover, while seeking Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker-type cosmological solutions, that hidden in the Horndeski Lagrangians are nondegenerate second-order scalar Lagrangians. In accordance with Ostrogradsky’s work, these hidden scalar Lagrangians lead to multiple vacuum solutions, and thereby predict the existence of the multiverse. The multiverse is comprised of numerous different types of individual universes. For example, some begin explosively, and then coast along exponentially forever at an accelerated rate, while others begin in that manner, and then stop expanding and contract.

We consider a generalized Brans–Dicke model in which the scalar field has a self-interacting potential function. The scalar field is also allowed to couple nonminimally with the matter part. We assume that it has a chameleon behavior in the sense that it acquires a density-dependent effective mass. We consider two different types of matter systems which couple with the chameleon, dust and vacuum. In the first case, we find a set of exact solutions when the potential has an exponential form. In the second case, we find a power-law exact solution for the scale factor. In this case, we will show that the vacuum density decays during expansion due to coupling with the chameleon.

AbstractWe present, for the first time, the quantization process for the Einstein-aether scalar field cosmology. We consider a cosmological theory proposed as a Lorentz violating inflationary model, where the aether and scalar fields interact through the assumption that the aether action constants are ultra-local functions of the scalar field. For this specific theory there is a valid minisuperspace description which we use to quantize. For a particular relation between the two free functions entering the reduced Lagrangian the solution to the Wheeler–DeWitt equation as also the generic classical solution are presented for any given arbitrary potential function.

We study the Scalar Field Cosmology (SFC) using the geometric language of the phase space. We define and study an ensemble of dynamical systems as a Banach space with a Sobolev metric. The metric in the ensemble is used to measure a distance between different models. We point out the advantages of visualization of dynamics in the phase space. It is investigated the genericity of some class of models in the context of fine tuning of the form of the potential function in the ensemble of SFC. We also study the symmetries of dynamical systems of SFC by searching for their exact solutions. In this context, we stressed the importance of scaling solutions. It is demonstrated that scaling solutions in the phase space are represented by unstable separatrices of the saddle points. Only critical point itself located on two-dimensional stable submanifold can be identified as scaling solution. We have also found a class of potentials of the scalar fields forced by the symmetry of differential equation describing the evolution of the Universe. A class of potentials forced by scaling (homology) symmetries was given. We point out the role of the notion of a structural stability in the context of the problem of indetermination of the potential form of the SFC. We characterize also the class of potentials which reproduces the ΛCDM model, which is known to be structurally stable. We show that the structural stability issue can be effectively used is selection of the scalar field potential function. This enables us to characterize a structurally stable and therefore a generic class of SFC models. We have found a nonempty and dense subset of structurally stable models. We show that these models possess symmetry of homology.

In this study, the first-order radiative correction to the Casimir energy for massive and massless scalar fields confined with mixed boundary conditions (BCs) (Dirichlet–Neumann) between two points in [Formula: see text] theory was computed. Two issues in performing the calculations in this work are essential: to renormalize the bare parameters of the problem, a systematic method was employed, allowing all influences from the BCs to be imported in all elements of the renormalization program. This idea yields our counterterms appeared in the renormalization program to be position-dependent. Using the Box Subtraction Scheme (BSS) as a regularization technique is the other noteworthy point in the calculation. In this scheme, by subtracting the vacuum energies of two similar configurations from each other, regularizing divergent expressions and their removal process were significantly facilitated. All the obtained answers for the Casimir energy with the mixed BC were consistent with well-known physical grounds. We also compared the Casimir energy for massive scalar field confined with four types of BCs (Dirichlet, Neumann, mixed of them and Periodic) in [Formula: see text] dimensions with each other, and the sign and magnitude of their values were discussed.

We propose a new representation of the Schrödinger-like equation for scalar field Friedmann cosmology where the scalar field is the argument, and the Hubble parameter is the analogue to the wave function. Such an approach gives us the possibility to use the Schrödinger potential as a generating function which leads to generalization of known exact solutions. Further, we find a simple transformation of the Hubble parameter which generates new solutions from the Schrödinger-like equation. Several examples are identified where exact forms for the scale factor, Hubble parameter and scalar potential can be written in closed form. Earlier results are regained in our approach.

In the case of two-scalar field cosmology, and specifically for the Chiral model, we determine an exact solution for the field equations with an anisotropic background space. The exact solution can describe anisotropic inflation with a Kantowski–Sachs geometry and can be seen as the anisotropic analogue of the hyperbolic inflation. Finally, we investigate the stability conditions for the exact solution.

Abstract In this work, the method of multiple scales is applied to analysis of cosmological dynamics. The method is used to construct solutions to the dynamic equations of the Universe filled with a scalar field in the Friedman-Robertson-Walker metric. A general scheme is described for choosing small dimensionless parameters of the expansion of model functions and applying the method itself to the equations of cosmological dynamics. Solutions are given that are constructed for two different types of a small parameter - a small field value and a small slow roll parameter.
