Homogeneous and anisotropic cosmologies with affine EoS: a dynamical system perspective

Abstract

Abstract We study a class of homogeneous and anisotropic geometries with affine equation of state (EoS) for different physically plausible scenarios of the universe evolution using dynamical system technique. We analyze the locally rotationally symmetric Bianchi I (LRS BI), Bianchi III (LRS BIII) and Bianchi V (LRS BV) geometry for the exhibition of the effects of affine EoS in the model. The model exhibits stable attractor which is also isotropic and thus, it may explain the late-time accelerated expansion of the universe. The model also possess stiff matter-, radiation- and matter-dominated phases prior to the dark energy assisted accelerating phase which are confirmed by the behaviours of effective equation of state and deceleration parameters. We use the statefinder diagnostic which is a geometrical diagnostic to explore model independent features of the cosmological dynamical system. The LRS BI, BIII and BV geometry based dynamical systems exhibit $$r=1,s=0$$ r = 1 , s = 0 $$(\Lambda $$ ( Λ cold dark matter model) at late-times, which is compatible with the observations. The dynamical system for the Kantowski–Sachs model yields synchronous bounce on the basis of the model parameters. It also yields a late-time attractor which may explain the accelerated expansion of the universe in the model. The qualitative differences between LRS BIII and BV cosmological dynamical systems have also been discussed.
