Nonsingular bouncing cosmology from general relativity: Scalar metric perturbations
arXiv:1911.06173 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.101.064061
Abstract
We derive the equations of motion for scalar metric perturbations in a particular nonsingular bouncing cosmology, where the big bang singularity is replaced by a spacetime defect with a degenerate metric. The adiabatic perturbation solution is obtained for nonrelativistic hydrodynamic matter. We get the same result by working with conformal coordinates. This last method is also valid for vector and tensor metric perturbations, and selected results are presented. We, finally, discuss several new effects from the linear perturbations of this nonsingular bouncing cosmology, such as across-bounce information transfer and the possible imprint on cosmological perturbations from a new phase responsible for the effective spacetime defect.
