Towards a nonsingular bouncing cosmology

Journal Article Cai, Yi-Fu ; Easson, Damien A. ; Brandenberger, Robert - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

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 solution with Ekpyrotic contraction which washes out small amplitude anisotropies. At high energy densities the field evolves into a ghost condensate, leading to a nonsingular bounce. Following the bounce there is a smooth transition to standard expanding radiation and matter dominated phases. Using linear cosmological perturbation theory we track each Fourier mode of the curvature fluctuation throughout the entire cosmic evolution. Using standard matching conditions for nonsingular bouncing cosmologies we verify that the spectral index doesmore »« less

Nonsingular bouncing cosmologies in light of BICEP2

Journal Article Cai, Yi-Fu ; Quintin, Jerome ; Saridakis, Emmanuel N. ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We confront various nonsingular bouncing cosmologies with the recently released BICEP2 data and investigate the observational constraints on their parameter space. In particular, within the context of the effective field approach, we analyze the constraints on the matter bounce curvaton scenario with a light scalar field, and the new matter bounce cosmology model in which the universe successively experiences a period of matter contraction and an ekpyrotic phase. Additionally, we consider three nonsingular bouncing cosmologies obtained in the framework of modified gravity theories, namely the Hořava-Lifshitz bounce model, the f(T) bounce model, and loop quantum cosmology.

Nonsingular bouncing universes in loop quantum cosmology

Journal Article Singh, Parampreet ; Vandersloot, Kevin ; Vereshchagin, G V ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Nonperturbative quantum geometric effects in loop quantum cosmology (LQC) predict a {rho}{sup 2} modification to the Friedmann equation at high energies. The quadratic term is negative definite and can lead to generic bounces when the matter energy density becomes equal to a critical value of the order of the Planck density. The nonsingular bounce is achieved for arbitrary matter without violation of positive energy conditions. By performing a qualitative analysis we explore the nature of the bounce for inflationary and cyclic model potentials. For the former we show that inflationary trajectories are attractors of the dynamics after the bounce implyingmore »« less

Non-singular bounce scenarios in loop quantum cosmology and the effective field description

Journal Article Cai, Yi-Fu ; Wilson-Ewing, Edward - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

A non-singular bouncing cosmology is generically obtained in loop quantum cosmology due to non-perturbative quantum gravity effects. A similar picture can be achieved in standard general relativity in the presence of a scalar field with a non-standard kinetic term such that at high energy densities the field evolves into a ghost condensate and causes a non-singular bounce. During the bouncing phase, the perturbations can be stabilized by introducing a Horndeski operator. Taking the matter content to be a dust field and an ekpyrotic scalar field, we compare the dynamics in loop quantum cosmology and in a non-singular bouncing effective fieldmore »« less
