Abstract:
The $\phi^4$ model of a scalar (complex) field in the metric of an expanding universe, namely, in the de Sitter metric is considered. The initial energy of the system can have an arbitrarily high positive value. Sufficient conditions for solution blowup in a finite time are obtained. The existence of blowup is proved by applying H.A. Levine's modified method is used.
Key words:finite-time blowup, generalized Klein–Gordon equations, nonlinear hyperbolic equations, nonlinear mixed boundary value problems, field theory.
