TLDR
In this article, nonsingular, homogeneous and isotropic bouncing solutions of the conformal Galileon model were presented, and it was shown that such solutions necessarily begin with a radiation-dominated contracting phase.Abstract:
We present nonsingular, homogeneous and isotropic bouncing solutions of the conformal Galileon model. We show that such solutions necessarily begin with a radiation-dominated contracting phase. This is followed by a quintom scenario in which the background equation of state crosses the cosmological constant boundary allowing for a nonsingular bounce which in turn is followed by Galilean Genesis. We analyze the spectrum of cosmological perturbations in this background. Our results show that the fluctuations evolve smoothly and without any pathology, but the adiabatic modes form a blue tilted spectrum. In order to achieve a scale-invariant primordial power spectrum as required by current observations, we introduce a light scalar field coupling to the Galileon kinetically. We find two couplings which yield a scale-invariant spectrum, one of which requires a fine tuning of the initial conditions. This model also predicts a blue tilted spectrum of gravitational waves stemming from quantum vacuum fluctuations in the contracting phase.read more

f(G,T) gravity bouncing universe with cosmological parameters
TL;DR: In this paper, the exact bouncing solutions with physical analysis are provided with the choice of two equation of state parameters and it is shown that the results do agree with the present values of deceleration, jerk and snap parameters.
Past-completeness of inflationary spacetimes
TL;DR: In this article , the question of whether or not inflationary spacetimes can be geodesically complete in the infinite past was discussed and an improved definition of geodesic completeness was presented.

Primordial Magnetic Field from Gravitationally Coupled Electrodynamics in Bouncing Scenario
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the generation of primordial magnetic field (PMF) in the non-singular bouncing scenario, through the coupling of the electromagnetic field to gravity, and adopt an electrodynamic model with a coupling coefficient as a function of the scale factor.

Bouncing Cosmology in Modified Gravity with Higher-Order Gauss–Bonnet Curvature Term
TL;DR: In this article , the bouncing behavior of cosmological models formulated in the background of the Hubble function in the F(R,G) theory of gravity was studied with a consideration of different viable models that can resolve the difficulty of singularity in standard Big Bang cosmology.
