Abstract

We construct and analyze a symmetric bimetric cosmological model connecting Anti-de Sitter (AdS) and de Sitter (dS) regimes through a coupled scalar field. Starting from a Lagrangian with Einstein-Hilbert terms for two FLRW metrics and an inter-metric potential, we derive modified Friedmann and Klein-Gordon equations governing their evolution. In the symmetric effective-fluid limit, the model reproduces the main phenomenology of the Λ\LambdaCDM cosmology with a small dynamical correction proportional to (1+z)3(1+z)^{-3}, and naturally satisfies local-gravity constraints through Vainshtein screening. This article outlines the theoretical structure and calibration of the model within a dual-geometry cosmological setting.
