A closed Friedmann universe with scalar field as source

  • 1. Akademie der Wissenschaften der DDR, Potsdam. Zentralinstitut fuer Astrophysik

Description

The evolution is examined of a closed Friedmann universe, the source of which is a classical massive scalar field. Supposing a minimal value a0 the initial values are chosen in such a way that the solutions are time symmetric. The scale factor passes a maximal value and then decreases to zero (singularity). For special initial values a phase with exponential increasing scale factor exists. (author)
