Bouncing Universe with Non-minimally Coupled Quintom Matter

TL;DR

This paper explores a string-inspired quintom dark energy model with non-minimal coupling, demonstrating that such a setup can produce a bouncing universe scenario.

Contribution

It introduces a non-minimally coupled quintom model within a generalized DBI framework, showing its potential to generate bouncing cosmological solutions.

Findings

Bouncing solutions can occur in a universe dominated by non-minimally coupled quintom matter.

The model extends string-inspired quintom theories with non-minimal coupling.

The study provides conditions under which a bounce is possible in this framework.

Abstract

In this letter, we study the condition for a generalized DBI action providing a quintom scenario of dark energy. We consider a development of string-inspired quintom by introducing non-minimal coupling. Then we show that the bouncing solution can appear in the universe dominated by the non-minimally coupled quintom matter.
