Symmetry, singularities and integrability in complex dynamics. VI: Integrability properties of FRW-scalar cosmologies (Q1613317)

The paper concerns Painlevé integrability of relativistic systems of ODE. Of the systems discussed, two are proved to pass the Ablowitz-Ramani-Segur test: a scalar-fluid FRW model due to \textit{E. J. Copeland} et al. [Phys. Rev. D 57, 4686-4690 (1998)] and the Billyard-Coley-van der Hoogen system [\textit{A. P. Billyard, A. A. Coley} and \textit{R. J. van den Hoogen}, Phys. Rev. D 58, 123501 (1998)]. Unlike integrability, the Painlevé property is sensitive to the choice of coordinates. A discussion of this peculiarity closes the paper.
