The nonsingular bounce models usually suffer from the ghost or gradient instabilities, as has been proved recently. In this paper, we propose a covariant effective theory for stable nonsingular bounce, which has the quadratic order of the second order derivative of the field $\phi$ but the background set only by $P(\phi,X)$. With it, we explicitly construct a fully stable nonsingular bounce model for the ekpyrotic scenario.

  1. Does Eternal Inflation Violate the Smeared Null Energy Condition?

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In canonical single-field eternal inflation, stochastic upward fluctuations do not violate the SNEC within the semiclassical slow-roll regime due to parametrically bounded drift and a strong timescale hierarchy N_SNEC ≫ N_BR.

  2. Non-Gaussianity and Strong-Coupling Problem in a Two-Field DHOST Bouncing Model

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Refines two-field DHOST bouncing model to match observed f_NL and keep strong-coupling scale above background energy, claiming full viability at linear and non-linear levels.
