Abstract

Recently a cubic Galileon cosmological model was derived by the assumption that the field equations are invariant under the action of point transformations. The cubic Galileon model admits a second conservation law which means that the field equations form an integrable system. The analysis of the critical points for this integrable model is the main subject of this work. To perform the analysis, we work on dimensionless variables that are different from those of the Hubble normalization. New critical points are derived, while the gravitational effects which follow from the cubic term are studied.
