We study isotropic and anisotropic (Bianchi I) cosmologies in Palatini $f(R)$ and $f(R,R_{\mu\nu}R^{\mu\nu})$ theories of gravity and consider the existence of non-singular bouncing solutions in the early universe. We find that all $f(R)$…

It is natural to regulate an infinite-sized system by imposing a boundary condition at finite distance, placing the system in a "box." This breaks symmetries, though the breaking is small when the box is large. One should thus be able to…
