Collapse driven by a scalar field without final singularity

Abstract

We explore a collapsing cosmology driven by a scalar field which is minimally coupled to gravity in a spatially at and spherically symmetric, isotropic and homogeneous space-time, with a variable timescale that avoids the final singularity. The equation of state that describes the collapse is ω=1\omega=1. We calculate the back-reaction of the space-time during the collapse and the energy density fluctuations related to this back-reaction has a spectral index ns=0n_s = 0, favouring short-wavelengths modes to be detected. The interesting is that the amplitude of these fluctuations increase with time when the collapse is sufficiently strong.
