A dynamical system analysis of bouncing cosmology with spatial curvature

The present work deals with a FLRW cosmological model with spatial curvature and minimally coupled scalar field as the matter content. The curvature term behaves as a perfect fluid with the equation of state parameter omega K=-13\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\omega _{\mathcal {K}}=-\frac{1}{3}$$\end{document}. Using suitable transformation of variables, the evolution equations are reduced to an autonomous system for both power law and exponential form of the scalar potential. The critical points are analyzed with center manifold theory and stability has been discussed. Also, critical points at infinity have been studied using the notion of Poincar & eacute; sphere. Finally, the cosmological implications of the critical points and cosmological bouncing scenarios are discussed. It is found that the cosmological bounce takes place near the points at infinity when the non-isolated critical points on the equator of the Poincar & eacute; sphere are saddle or saddle-node in nature.
