The evolution of spatially homogeneous and isotropic cosmological models containing a perfect fluid with equation of state p=w\rho and a cosmological constant \Lambda is investigated for arbitrary combinations of w and \Lambda, using standard qualitative analysis borrowed from classical mechanics. This approach allows one to consider a large variety of situations, appreciating similarities and differences between models, without solving the Friedmann equation, and is suitable for an elementary course in cosmology.

Abstract
The evolution of spatially homogeneous and isotropic cosmological models containing a perfect fluid with equation of state p=w\rho and a cosmological constant \Lambda is investigated for arbitrary combinations of w and \Lambda, using standard qualitative analysis borrowed from classical mechanics. This approach allows one to consider a large variety of situations, appreciating similarities and differences between models, without solving the Friedmann equation, and is suitable for an elementary course in cosmology.File in questo prodotto:
