A covariant Lagrangian for stable nonsingular bounce
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 but the
background set only by . With it, we explicitly construct a fully
stable nonsingular bounce model for the ekpyrotic scenario.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figures; published in JHEP; an Appendix and references

Emergent Dark Matter in Late Time Universe on Holographic Screen
We discuss a scenario that the dark matter in late time universe emerges as
part of the holographic stress-energy tensor on the hypersurface in higher
dimensional flat spacetime. Firstly we construct a toy model with a de Sitter
hypersurface as the holographic screen in the flat bulk. After adding the
baryonic matter on the screen, we assume that both of the dark matter and dark
energy can be described by the Brown-York stress-energy tensor. From the
Hamiltonian constraint equation in the flat bulk, we find an interesting
relation between the dark matter and baryonic matter's energy density
parameters, by comparing with the Lambda cold dark matter parameterization. We
further compare this holographic embedding of emergent dark matter with
traditional braneworld scenario and present an alternative interpretation as
the holographic universe. It can be reduced to our toy constraint in the late
time universe, with the new parameterization of the Friedmann equation. We also
comment on the possible connection with Verlinde's emergent gravity, where the
dark matter is treated as the elastic response of the baryonic matter on the de
Sitter spacetime background. We show that from the holographic de Sitter model
with elasticity, the Tully-Fisher relation and the dark matter distribution in
the galaxy scale can be derived.Comment: 28 pages, 2 figures; Matches published version and we thank the
