Nonsingular bouncing cosmology from general relativity
arXiv:1904.09961 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.100.083534
Abstract
We investigate a particular type of classical nonsingular bouncing cosmology, which results from general relativity if we allow for degenerate metrics. The simplest model has a matter content with a constant equation-of-state parameter and we get the modified Hubble diagrams for both the luminosity distance and the angular diameter distance. Based on these results, we present a Gedankenexperiment to determine the length scale of the spacetime defect which has replaced the big bang singularity. A possibly more realistic model has an equation-of-state parameter which is different before and after the bounce. This last model also provides an upper bound on the defect length scale.
