We study the dynamics of a homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe in the context of the Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld theory of gravity. We generalize earlier results, obtained in the context of a radiation dominated universe, to account for the evolution of a universe permeated by a perfect fluid with an arbitrary equation of state parameter $w$. We show that a bounce may occur for $\kappa >0$, if $w$ is time-dependent, and we demonstrate that it is free from tensor singularities. We argue that Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld cosmologies may be a viable alternative to the inflationary paradigm as a solution to fundamental problems of the standard cosmological model.

  1. Studying spherical collapse and its implications in the Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity theory

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    In EiBI gravity, spherical collapse yields lower linear thresholds, higher turnaround and virial overdensities, and modestly smaller turnaround radii than in ΛCDM, with effects increasing with the coupling κ̂_BI.

    In EiBI gravity, spherical collapse needs regularized density profiles to handle singular gradient terms, yielding a lower linear collapse threshold, higher turnaround and virial overdensities, and slightly smaller tu...
