We investigate the realization of a nonsingular bounce within the framework of Myrzakulov \( F(R,T) \) gravity. This modified gravitational theory uses a non-special connection that combines both curvature and torsion, giving rise to an…

We study a cosmological scenario in which inflation is preceded by a bounce. In this scenario, the primordial singularity, one of the major shortcomings of inflation, is replaced by a non-singular bounce, prior to which the universe…

We propose a cosmological scenario in which the universe undergoes through a non-singular bounce, and after the bounce, it decelerates having a matter-like dominated evolution during some regime of the deceleration era, and finally at the…
