Scalar field cosmologies with a generalized harmonic potential and matter with energy density $rho_m$, pressure $p_m$, and barotropic equation of state (EoS) $p_m=(gamma-1)rho_m, ; gammain[0,2]$ in Kantowski-Sachs (KS) and closed Friedmann--Lema^itre--Robertson--Walker (FLRW) metrics are investigated. We use methods from non--linear dynamical systems theory and averaging theory considering a time--dependent perturbation function $D$. We define a regular dynamical system over a compact phase space, obtaining global results. That is, for KS metric the global late--time attractors of full and time--averaged systems are two anisotropic contracting solutions, which are non--flat locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Kasner and Taub (flat LRS Kasner) for $0leq gamma leq 2$, and flat FLRW matter--dominated universe if $0leq gamma leq frac{2}{3}$. For closed FLRW metric late--time attractors of full and averaged systems are a flat matter--dominated FLRW universe for $0leq gamma leq frac{2}{3}$ as in KS and Einstein-de Sitter solution for $0leqgamma<1$. Therefore, time--averaged system determines future asymptotics of full system. Also, oscillations entering the system through Klein-Gordon (KG) equation can be controlled and smoothed out when $D$ goes monotonically to zero, and incidentally for the whole $D$-range for KS and for closed FLRW (if $0leq gamma< 1$) too. However, for $gammageq 1$ closed FLRW solutions of the full system depart from the solutions of the averaged system as $D$ is large. Our results are supported by numerical simulations.
The equation of the spin-$frac{1}{2}$ particles in the Friedmann-Lema^itre-Robertson-Walker spacetime is investigated. The retarded and advanced fundamental solutions to the Dirac operator and generalized Dirac operator as well as the fundamental solutions to the Cauchy problem are written in explicit form via the fundamental solution of the wave equation in the Minkowski spacetime.
A regularization procedure has been recently suggested for regularizing Big Bang singularities in Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetimes. We argue that this procedure is only appliable to one case of Big Bang singularities and does not affect other types of singularities.
We apply a new global dynamical systems formulation to flat Robertson-Walker cosmologies with a massless and massive Yang-Mills field and a perfect-fluid with linear equation of state as the matter sources. This allows us to give proofs concerning the global dynamics of the models including asymptotic source-dominance towards the past and future time directions. For the pure massless Yang-Mills field, we also contextualize well-known explicit solutions in a global (compact) state space picture.
