R. J. van den Hoogen, A.A. Coley, and Y. He

TL;DR
This paper analyzes the asymptotic behavior of Bianchi type IX cosmological models within the Brane-world scenario, focusing on scalar fields with exponential potentials and their influence on inflationary solutions.
Contribution
It provides a detailed qualitative analysis of Bianchi IX brane-world models with scalar fields, identifying stability properties and asymptotic solutions near singularities.
Findings
Brane-Robertson Walker solution acts as a local source for expanding models.
Expanding models with $k^2<2$ tend to power-law inflationary solutions.
Scalar fields near the initial singularity behave as effectively massless.
Abstract
We shall investigate the asymptotic properties of the Bianchi type IX cosmological model in the Brane-world scenario. The matter content is assumed to be a combination of a perfect fluid and a minimimally coupled scalar field that is restricted to the Brane. A detailed qualitative analysis of the Bianchi type IX braneworld containing a scalar field having an exponential potential is undertaken. It is found that the Brane-Robertson Walker solution is a local source for the expanding Bianchi IX models, and if the expanding Bianchi IX models asymptote to the power-law inflationary solution. The only other local sink is the contracting Brane-Robertson Walker solution. An analysis of the Bianchi IX models with a scalar field with a general potential is discussed, and it is shown that in the case of expanding models, for physical scalar field potentials close to the initial…
