An oscillating, homogeneous and isotropic Universe from Scalar-Tensor gravity

TL;DR

This paper proposes a scalar-tensor gravity model that predicts an oscillating, homogeneous, and isotropic universe, aligning with observations like the Hubble Law and redshift, and suggests dark energy as a curvature effect from the scalar field.

Contribution

It introduces a linearized scalar-tensor gravity model explaining an oscillating universe consistent with observations, and interprets dark energy as a curvature effect from the scalar field.

Findings

Model aligns with Hubble Law and redshift observations

Dark energy emerges as a scalar field curvature effect

Universe exhibits oscillating, homogeneous, isotropic behavior

Abstract

An oscillating, homogeneous and isotropic Universe which arises from Scalar-Tensor gravity is discussed in the linearized approach, showing that some observative evidences like the Hubble Law and the Cosmological Redshift are in agreement with the model. In this context Dark Energy appears like a pure curvature effect arising by the scalar field.
