Exact scalar field cosmologies
Open accessAbstract
The authors consider exact cosmological solutions of the Einstein gravitational equations with a non-interacting combination of a classical scalar field and isotropic radiation as source. They show how a potential function for the scalar field can be found leading to desired volume behaviour of Robertson-Walker universes, and give a number of exact solutions of the coupled equations. These solutions in general do not obey the 'slow-rolling' approximation usually assumed in inflationary universe models.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
