Inflection Point Dynamics of Minimally Coupled Tachyonic Scalar Fields

In this paper, we explore the behavior of a minimally coupled tachyonic scalar field at an inflection point within an accelerating universe. We examine various cosmic expansion factors, including power-law, exponential, and a hybrid form combining power-law and exponential growth. For each of these scenarios, we derive the corresponding potentials of the tachyonic scalar field. Subsequently, we calculate the inflection points of the spatially homogeneous tachyonic scalar field for these potentials. To further analyze the system, we employ dynamical system analysis techniques to identify equilibrium points and assess their stability.

Abstract

In this paper, we explore the behavior of a minimally coupled tachyonic scalar field at an inflection point within an accelerating universe. We examine various cosmic expansion factors, including power-law, exponential, and a hybrid form combining power-law and exponential growth. For each of these scenarios, we derive the corresponding potentials of the tachyonic scalar field. Subsequently, we calculate the inflection points of the spatially homogeneous tachyonic scalar field for these potentials. To further analyze the system, we employ dynamical system analysis techniques to identify equilibrium points and assess their stability.
