The "measurability" of the non-minimal coupling is discussed in the context of the effective field theory of gravity. Although there is no obvious motive for excluding a non-minimal scalar coupling from the theory, we conclude that for…
A non-singular bouncing cosmology is generically obtained in loop quantum cosmology due to non-perturbative quantum gravity effects. A similar picture can be achieved in standard general relativity in the presence of a scalar field with a…

We investigate a particular type of classical nonsingular bouncing cosmology, which results from general relativity if we allow for degenerate metrics. The simplest model has a matter content with a constant equation-of-state parameter and…

We study the evolution of a self interacting scalar field in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory in four dimension where the scalar field couples non minimally with the Gauss-Bonnet term. Considering a polynomial coupling of the scalar field with…
The main difficulties in constructing a viable early Universe bouncing model are: to bypass the observational and theoretical \emph{no-go} theorem, to construct a stable non-singular bouncing phase and perhaps, the major concern of it is to…
