Scaling Solutions in Robertson-Walker Spacetimes
read the original abstract
We investigate the stability of cosmological scaling solutions describing a barotropic fluid with $p=(\gamma-1)\rho$ and a non-interacting scalar field $\phi$ with an exponential potential $V(\phi)=V_0\e^{-\kappa\phi}$. We study homogeneous and isotropic spacetimes with non-zero spatial curvature and find three possible asymptotic future attractors in an ever-expanding universe. One is the zero-curvature power-law inflation solution where $\Omega_\phi=1$ ($\gamma<2/3,\kappa^2<3\gamma$ and $\gamma>2/3,\kappa^2<2$). Another is the zero-curvature scaling solution, first identified by Wetterich, where the energy density of the scalar field is proportional to that of matter with $\Omega_\phi=3\gamma/\kappa^2$ ($\gamma<2/3,\kappa^2>3\gamma$). We find that this matter scaling solution is unstable to curvature perturbations for $\gamma>2/3$. The third possible future asymptotic attractor is a solution with negative spatial curvature where the scalar field energy density remains proportional to the curvature with $\Omega_\phi=2/\kappa^2$ ($\gamma>2/3,\kappa^2>2$). We find that solutions with $\Omega_\phi=0$ are never late-time attractors.
