Friedmann equations and cosmic bounce in a modified cosmological scenario
arXiv:2212.10928 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2023.137827
Abstract
In this work we present a derivation of modified Raychaudhuri and Friedmann equations from a phenomenological model of quantum gravity based on the thermodynamics of spacetime. Starting from general gravitational equations of motion which encode low-energy quantum gravity effects, we found its particular solution for homogenous and isotropic universes with standard matter content, obtaining a modified Raychaudhuri equation. Then, we imposed local energy conservation and used a perturbative treatment to derive a modified Friedmann equation. The modified evolution in the early universe we obtained suggests a replacement of the Big Bang singularity by a regular bounce. Lastly, we also briefly discuss the range of validity of the perturbative approach and its results.
