Abstract: Multidimensional cosmological-type model with n Einstein factor spaces in the theory with l scalar fields and multiple exponential potential is considered. The dynamics of the model near the singularity is reduced to a billiard on the (N-1)-dimensional Lobachevsky space H^{N-1}, N = n+l. It is shown that for n > 1 the oscillating behaviour near the singularity is absent and solutions have an asymptotical Kasner-like behavior. For the case of one scale factor (n =1) billiards with finite volumes (e.g. coinciding with that of the Bianchi-IX model) are described and oscillating behaviour of scalar fields near the singularity is obtained.

Review text

The paper is devoted to the investigation of the possible oscillating behaviour near the singularity for cosmological type solutions with \(n\) Einstein factor-spaces in the theory with scalar fields and multiple exponential potential. The billiard approach to a cosmological model with a scalar potential is applied. It is shown that for \(n>1\) the oscillating behaviour near the singularity is absent, i.e., solutions have an asymptotical Kasner-like behaviour. For \(n=1\) the examples of oscillating behaviour for scalar fields but not for a scale factor are presented. In the model with two scalar fields and three potential walls the necessary and sufficient conditions for triangle billiards to be of finite volume are found.
