Abstract
Dynamical systems methods are used to investigate a cosmological model with non-minimally coupled scalar field and asymptotically quadratic potential function. We found that for values of the non-minimal coupling constant parameter there exists an unstable asymptotic de Sitter state, free from a parallelly propagated singularity for , giving rise to non-singular beginning of the universe. The energy density associated with this state depends on value of the non-minimal coupling constant and can be much smaller than the Planck energy density. For we found that the initial state is in form of the static Einstein universe. Proposed evolutional model, contrary to the seminal Starobinsky's model, do not depend on the specific choice of initial conditions in phase space, moreover, a small change in the model parameters do not change the evolution thus the model is generic and structurally stable. The values of the non-minimal coupling constant can indicate for a new fundamental symmetry in the gravitational theory. We show that Jordan frame and Einstein frame formulation of the theory are physically nonequivalent.
