Propagation of Massive Scalar Fields in Pre-Big Bang Cosmologies

Abstract

We investigate the linear and semilinear massive Klein-Gordon equations in geometrical frameworks of type "Conformal Cyclic Cosmology" of R. Penrose, or "Singular Bouncing Scenario" as well. We give sufficient conditions on the decay of the mass to the fields be able to propagate across the Big-Bang.
