Single field matter bounce with dark energy era: comparison with CMB Planck 2018 data and best fit parameters

Rodrigo F. Pinheiro, Nelson Pinto-Neto

In this work, we perform Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analyses using the Planck 2018 cosmic microwave background (CMB) datasets, including temperature, polarization, and lensing…

Two Fluid Quantum Bouncing Cosmology I: Theoretical Model

Sandro D. P. Vitenti, Nelson Pinto-Neto, Patrick Peter +1

Bouncing cosmologies offer an alternative to inflation by resolving the initial singularity through a contracting phase followed by a bounce into expansion. In many such models, th…

Quantum cosmological perturbations in bouncing models with mimetic dark matter

Idaiane L. Machado, Dêivid R. da Silva, Nelson Pinto-Neto

We calculate the power spectrum of cosmological perturbations originated from quantum vacuum fluctuations in bouncing scenarios proposed in Ref.~\cite{chamseddine2014cosmology} in…

The H0 trouble: Confronting Non-thermal Dark Matter and Phantom Cosmology with the CMB, BAO, and Type Ia Supernovae data

Simony S da Costa, Dêivid R da Silva, Álvaro S de Jesus +2

We have witnessed different values of the Hubble constant being found in the literature in the past years. Albeit, early measurements often result in an much smaller than tho…

Comments on "Growth of Covariant Perturbations in the Contracting Phase of a Bouncing Universe" by A. Kumar

N. Pinto-Neto, S. D. P. Vitenti

A recent paper by Kumar (2012) (hereafter K12) claimed that in a contracting model, described by perturbations around a collapsing Friedmann model containing dust or radiation, the…
