The matter bounce alternative to inflationary cosmology

RH Brandenberger - arXiv preprint arXiv:1206.4196, 2012 - arxiv.org
A bouncing cosmology with an initial matter-dominated phase of contraction during which
scales which are currently probed with cosmological observations exit the Hubble radius …

Bouncing cosmologies: progress and problems

R Brandenberger, P Peter - Foundations of Physics, 2017 - Springer
We review the status of bouncing cosmologies as alternatives to cosmological inflation for
providing a description of the very early universe, and a source for the cosmological …

Towards a nonsingular bouncing cosmology

YF Cai, DA Easson… - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a nonsingular bouncing cosmology using single scalar field matter with non-
trivial potential and non-standard kinetic term. The potential sources a dynamical attractor …

Scalar and tensor perturbations in DHOST bounce cosmology

M Zhu, A Ilyas, Y Zheng, YF Cai… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the bounce realization in the framework of DHOST cosmology, focusing on
the relation with observables. We perform a detailed analysis of the scalar and tensor …

Anisotropy in a non-singular bounce

YF Cai, R Brandenberger, P Peter - Classical and Quantum …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Following recent claims relative to the question of large anisotropy production in regular
bouncing scenarios, we study the evolution of such anisotropies in a model where an …

DHOST bounce

A Ilyas, M Zhu, Y Zheng, YF Cai… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a new class of nonsingular bounce cosmology free from instabilities, using a
single scalar field coupled to gravity within the framework of the Degenerate Higher-Order …

Towards anisotropy-free and nonsingular bounce cosmology with scale-invariant perturbations

T Qiu, X Gao, EN Saridakis - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation …, 2013 - APS
We investigate nonsingular bounce realizations in the framework of ghost-free generalized
Galileon cosmology, which furthermore can be free of the anisotropy problem. Considering …

A matter bounce by means of ghost condensation

C Lin, RH Brandenberger… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
Assuming the existence of a scalar field which undergoes``ghost condensation" and which
has a suitably chosen potential, it is possible to obtain a non-singular bouncing cosmology …

The matter bounce curvaton scenario

YF Cai, R Brandenberger, X Zhang - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
Massless scalar fields originating in a quantum vacuum state acquire a scale-invariant
spectrum of fluctuations in a matter-dominated contracting universe. We show that these …

Quantum aspects of chaos and complexity from bouncing cosmology: A study with two-mode single field squeezed state formalism

P Bhargava, S Choudhury, S Chowdhury… - SciPost Physics …, 2021 - scipost.org
Abstract $ Circuit~ Complexity $, a well known computational technique has recently
become the backbone of the physics community to probe the chaotic behaviour and random …
