Anisotropic Cosmology with Inhomogeneous $SU(2) $ and SL(2,ℝ) Nonlinear σ-Models
Abstract
We investigate the cosmological dynamics of the nonlinear σ-model in a locally rotational symmetric Bianchi V background geometry. We employ the SU(2) and the SL(2,ℝ) internal symmetries, for which the kinetic metric of the multi-scalar fields is a space of constant curvature. We assume an inhomogeneous ansatz for the scalar fields, such that the σ-model, which allows the existence of nontrivial solutions in the Bianchi V geometry. For an exponential potential, we perform a detailed analysis of the phase space, we determine the stationary points, and we study their stability properties. The scalar field inhomogeneities prevent both the slow-roll and hyperbolic inflationary epochs. The existence of a cosmological constant is required to describe cosmic acceleration.
