We consider the dynamics of a contracting universe ruled by two minimally coupled scalar fields with general exponential potentials. This model describes string-inspired scenarios in the Einstein frame. Both background and perturbations can be solved analytically in this model. Curvature perturbations are generated with a scale invariant spectrum only for a dust-like collapse, as happens for a single field model with an exponential potential. We find the conditions for which a scale invariant spectrum for isocurvature perturbation is generated.

  1. 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.

  2. Towards degeneracy breaking of early universe models

    gr-qc 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Conformally related early universe models can be told apart by the location of frame-invariant variables built from the time variation of particle and Planck masses.
