Analysis of big bounce in Einstein–Cartan cosmology

Abstract: We analyze the dynamics of a homogeneous and isotropic universe in the Einstein-Cartan theory of gravity. The spin of fermions produces spacetime torsion that prevents gravitational singularities and replaces the big bang with a nonsingular big bounce. We show that a closed universe exists only when a particular function of its scale factor and temperature is higher than some threshold value, whereas an open and a flat universes do not have such a restriction. We also show that a bounce of the scale factor is … Show more

“…We showed in section 4.8 that it provides a new effective Ricci curvature scalar and tensor and that the Hilbert-Einstein action reflects actually that scalar. Another consequence of the reasoning and construction of the action is that Hilbert-Einstein action is the correct action and not a first order approximation in R as sometimes proposed [23,300,298,299,25,308,295,294,297](and many more proposals exist and keep on coming). Earlier, we also showed a possible additional microscopic torsion (that may or may not exist).…”

“…EC agrees with solar system, binary pulsar, and cosmological tests of general relativity because even at nuclear densities, the corrections from torsion to the Einstein equations are negligible [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55]57]. The spin-torsion coupling in EC generates gravitational repulsion at extremely high densities and thus avoids the formation of singularities in black holes and at the big bang [67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76]. The collapsing matter in a black hole bounces at a finite density and then expands into a new, finite region of space with positive curvature on the other side of the event horizon, which may be regarded as a new universe [77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85].…”

“…Torsion allows for additional degrees of freedom, and so in the past, models with torsion were proposed to solve certain early Universe problems, replacing the initial singularity with a big bounce and inflation [3][4][5]. Recently, cosmological models with torsion were used to investigate alternatives to dark energy [6][7][8].…”
