Superluminary Universe: A Possible Solution to the Initial Value Problem in Cosmology
read the original abstract
The spontaneous breaking of local Lorentz invariance in the early Universe, associated with a first order phase transition at a critical time $t_c$, generates a large increase in the speed of light and a superluminary communication of information occurs, allowing all regions in the Universe to be causally connected. This solves the horizon problem, leads to a mechanism of monopole suppression in cosmology and can resolve the flatness problem. After the critical time $t_c$, local Lorentz (and diffeomorphism) invariance is restored and light travels at its presently measured speed. The kinematical and dynamical aspects of the generation of quantum fluctuations in the superluminary Universe are investigated. A scale invariant prediction for the fluctuation density amplitude is obtained.

An intrinsic kinematic relation $\boldsymbol{c=\frac{c_{0}}{H_{0}}\,\dot{a}}\,$ inferred from Type Ia supernovae
The Pantheon supernova fit in a Dolgov–Barrow varying-speed-of-light cosmology favors the locus (1+ζ)μ=1, interpreted as c∝da/dt.
