Cosmological singularities in conformal Weyl gravity

Abstract In this work, we study the issue of the past and future cosmological singularities in the context of the fourth-order conformal Weyl gravity. In particular, we investigate the emergent universe scenario proposed by Ellis et al., and find the stability conditions of the corresponding Einstei...
