Recent progress seems to suggest that one must modify General Relativity (GR) to stably violate the null energy condition and avoid the cosmological singularity. However, with the higher-order derivative operators of scalar field (a subclass of the degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor theory), we show that at energies well below the Planck scale, fully stable nonsingular cosmologies can actually be implemented within GR.

  1. Is there ghost and tachyon free bounce in UV complete gravity theory?

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Ghost- and tachyon-free bounces in AID gravity require a negative cosmological constant; known positive-Λ solutions inevitably contain ghost radiation.

  2. Fully viable DHOST bounce with extra scalar

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A constructed two-field DHOST bouncing cosmology that avoids ghost, gradient, and superluminality problems and produces nearly scale-invariant curvature perturbations.

  3. Gravitational Waves from Primordial Black Holes formed by Null Energy Condition Violation during Inflation

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A transient null-energy-condition violation during inflation is shown to produce a four-component gravitational-wave background — primordial, scalar-induced, PBH ringdown, and binary-merger — with only the solar-mass ...
