abstract

I motivate a proposal for modeling, at weak string coupling, the ``Big Bounce" transition from a growing-curvature phase to standard (FRW) cosmology in terms of a pressure-less dense gas of "string-holes" (SH), string states lying on the correspondence curve between strings and black holes. During this phase SH evolve in such a way that temperature and (string-frame) curvature remain $O(M_s)$ and (a cosmological version of) the holographic entropy bound remains saturated. This reasoning also appears to imply a new interpretation of the Hagedorn phase transition in string theory.

  1. Viscosity in Isotropic Cosmological Backgrounds in General Relativity and Starobinsky Gravity

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Shear viscosity does not affect the background expansion or the electromagnetic luminosity distance in isotropic cosmologies with a comoving fluid, also in Starobinsky gravity.
