Backreaction and order reduction in initially contracting models of the Universe

L Gao, PR Anderson, RS Link - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
The semiclassical backreaction equations are solved in closed Robertson-Walker
spacetimes containing a positive cosmological constant and a conformally coupled massive …

Cosmological implications of generalized holonomy corrections

C Renevey, K Martineau, A Barrau - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Most of the phenomenology of loop quantum gravity in the cosmological sector is based on
the so-called holonomy correction to the Hamiltonian constraint. It straightforwardly modifies …

Quantum Hǒrava-Lifshitz cosmology in the de Broglie–Bohm interpretation

GS Vicente - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
Classical and quantum Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker universes filled with
noninteracting radiation and dust fluids are considered in the framework of Hořava-Lifshitz …

Catastrophic fate of Schwarzschild black holes in a thermal bath

A Barrau, K Martineau, C Renevey - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Using the Schwarzschild metric as a rudimentary toy model, we pedagogically revisit the
curious prediction that the mass of a classical black hole in a constant temperature thermal …

Detailed analysis of the curvature bounce: background dynamics and imprints in the CMB

C Renevey, A Barrau, K Martineau - The European Physical Journal C, 2022 - Springer
If the spatial sections of the Universe are positively curved, extrapolating the inflationary
stage backward in time inevitably leads to a classical bounce. This simple scenario, non …

Pre-inflationary scalar perturbations on closed universes in loop quantum cosmology

L Montese, N Yokomizo - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.11762, 2024 - arxiv.org
The inflationary and pre-inflationary evolution of scalar modes of cosmological perturbations
in a closed universe is analyzed for a loop quantum cosmology model with an inflationary …

Non-singular bounce solutions in Myrzakulov gravity

A Lymperis, G Nugmanova, A Sergazina - arXiv preprint arXiv:2501.18524, 2025 - arxiv.org
We investigate the realization of a nonsingular bounce within the framework of
Myrzakulov\(F (R, T)\) gravity. This modified gravitational theory uses a non-special …

Quasi-matter bounce cosmology in light of Planck

M Arab, M Khorasani - The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We study quasi-matter bounce cosmology in light of Planck cosmic microwave background
angular anisotropy measurements along with the BICEP2/Keck Array data. We propose a …
