Abstract
The standard ΛCDM model, despite its agreement with observational data, still has some issues unaddressed, such as the problem of initial singularity. Solving that problem usually requires modifications of general relativity. However, there appeared the Hořava–Lifshitz (HL) theory of gravity, in which equations governing cosmological evolution include a new term scaling similarly as the dark radiation term in the Friedmann equations, enabling a bounce of the universe instead of initial singularity. This review describes past works on the stability of such a bounce in different formulations of HL theory, an initial detailed balance scenario, and further projectable versions containing higher than quadratic terms to the original action.
