Structure formation in non-local bouncing models

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: In this study, we investigate the growth of structures within the Deser-Woodard nonlocal theory and extend it to various bouncing cosmology scenarios. Our findings show that the observable structure growth rate, fsigma8, in a vacuum-dominated universe is finite within the redshift range of 0<z<2, contrary to previous literature. Although fsigma8 exhibits no divergences, we observe a slight difference between the evolution of the LambdaCDM and the non-local DW II models. Regarding structure formation in bouncing cosmologies, we evaluate the evolution of fsigma8 near the bouncing point. Among the different bouncing cases we explore, the oscillatory bounce and pre-inflationary asymmetrical bounce demonstrate a physical profile where the growth rate begins as a small perturbation in the early epoch and increases with inflation, which can be regarded as the seeds of large-scale structures. These findings are significant because they shed light on the growth of seed fluctuations into cosmic structures resulting from non-local effects.
