We provide a novel mechanism that resolves the Big Bang Singularity present in FRW space-times without the need for ghost fields. Building on the fact that a four-fermion interaction arises in General Relativity when fermions are covariantly coupled, we show that at early times the decrease in scale factor enhances the correlation between pairs of fermions. This enhancement leads to a BCS-like condensation of the fermions and opens a gap dynamically driving the Hubble parameter $H$ to zero and results in a non-singular bounce, at least in some special cases.

  1. Torsion induced one-loop corrections to inflaton decay and the Stochastic gravitational waves

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Torsion-induced one-loop corrections can suppress the stochastic gravitational wave signal from inflaton decay by up to two orders of magnitude relative to tree-level predictions.
