abstract

It is shown that Einstein's field equations for \emph{all} perfect-fluid $k=0$ FLRW cosmologies have the same form as the topological normal form of a fold bifurcation. In particular, we assume that the cosmological constant is a bifurcation parameter, and as such, fold bifurcation behaviour is shown to occur in a neighbourhood of Minkowski spacetime in the phase space. We show that as this cosmological constant parameter is varied, an expanding and contracting de Sitter universe \emph{emerge} via this bifurcation.

  1. Geodesic dynamics in brane-de Sitter wormholes

    gr-qc 2025-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For an asymptotically de Sitter brane wormhole, the throat is shown to be an unstable fixed point and photon sphere, with a claimed Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation for radial null geodesics.
