Abstract :
We consider a general approach to exactly solvable 2D dilaton cosmology with one-loop backreaction from conformal fields taken into account. It includes as particular cases previous models discussed in the literature. We list different types of solutions and investigate their properties for simple models, typical for string theory. We find a rather rich class of everywhere-regular solutions, which exist practically in every type of analysed solution. They exhibit different kinds of asymptotic behaviour in the past and future, including inflation, superinflation, deflation, power expansion or contraction. In particular, for some models the dS spacetime with a time-dependent dilaton field is the exact solution of the field equations. For some kinds of solution the weak-energy condition is violated independently of a specific model. We also find the solutions with a singularity which is situated in an infinite past (or future), so at any finite moment of a comoving time the universe is singularity-free. It is pointed out that for some models the spacetime may be everywhere regular even in spite of infinitely large quantum backreaction in an infinite past.
