Unbounded dynamics and compact invariant sets of one Hamiltonian system defined by the minimally coupled field

•Domain with unbounded dynamics is localized.•Equations for periodic orbits are given in one level set.•Localizations for compact invariant sets are got.

In this paper we study some features of global dynamics for one Hamiltonian system arisen in cosmology which is formed by the minimally coupled field; this system was introduced by Maciejewski et al. in 2007. We establish that under some simple conditions imposed on parameters of this system all trajectories are unbounded in both of time directions. Further, we present other conditions for system parameters under which we localize the domain with unbounded dynamics; this domain is defined with help of bounds for values of the Hamiltonian level surface parameter. We describe the case when our system possesses periodic orbits which are found explicitly. In the rest of the cases we get some localization bounds for compact invariant sets.
