Detailed analysis of the curvature bounce: background dynamics and imprints in the CMB

Abstract If the spatial sections of the Universe are positively curved, extrapolating the inflationary stage backward in time inevitably leads to a classical bounce. This simple scenario, non-singular and free of exotic physics, deserves to be investigated in details. The background dynamics exhibit...
