Event Description
A key problem in constructing bouncing cosmologies is how to match the cosmological fluctuations in the high curvature bounce region. We study an approach to this problem in which we use the AdS/CFT correspondence to map the physics onto a boundary gauge theory which is weakly coupled at times when the bulk space-time has a high curvature.
