Bouncing solutions in $f(T)$ gravity

Abstract

We consider certain aspects of cosmological dynamics of a spatially curved Universe in f(T)f(T) gravity. Local analysis allows us to find conditions for bounces and for static solutions; these conditions appear to be in general less restrictive than in general relativity. We also provide a global analysis of the corresponding cosmological dynamics in the cases when bounces and static configurations exist, by constructing phase diagrams. These diagrams indicate that the fate of a big contracting Universe is not altered significantly when bounces become possible, since they appear to be inaccessible by a sufficiently big Universe.
