Bounce solutions in viscous fluid cosmology

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2015-09-21 v2

Abstract

We investigate the bounce cosmology induced by inhomogeneous viscous fluids in FRW space-time (non necessarly flat), taking into account the early-time acceleration after the bounce. Different forms for the scale factor and several examples of fluids will be considered. We also analyze the relation between bounce and finite-time singularities and between the corresponding fluids realizing this scenarios. In the last part of the work, the study is extended to the framework of f(R)f(R)-modified gravity, where the modification of gravity may also be considered as an effective (viscous) fluid producing the bounce.
