Exact scalar field cosmologies in (1+1) dimensions

We report a series of exact cosmological solutions of the gravitational (1+1)-dimensional equations with a classical scalar field and an isotropic perfect fluid source. We consider a Robertson - Walker universe and obtain the scale factor and the field for several physically interesting potentials....

Sumario:We report a series of exact cosmological solutions of the gravitational (1+1)-dimensional equations with a classical scalar field and an isotropic perfect fluid source. We consider a Robertson - Walker universe and obtain the scale factor and the field for several physically interesting potentials. In the case of a non-vanishing positive cosmological constant , we have found asymptotically de Sitter solutions which resemble the (3+1)-dimensional results. When we have to take restrictive conditions on the sign of the potential function in order to obtain exactly solvable models which include exponential inflationary processes.
