Abstract
Spatially homogeneous field theories are studied in the framework of dynami cal system theory. In particular, we consider a model of inflationary cosmo logy and a Yang-Mills-Higgs system. We discuss also the role of quantum cha os and its application to field theories. (C) 1999 American Institute of Ph ysics. [S0022-2488(99)00209-1].
