Abstract The Eddington-inspired-Born–Infeld scenario
(EiBI) can prevent the big bang singularity for a matter
content whose equation of state is constant and positive.
In a recent paper [Bouhmadi-Lopez et al. (Eur. Phys. J. C
74:2802, 2014)] we showed that, on the contrary, it is impos-
sible to smooth a big rip in the EiBI setup. In fact the situa-
tions are still different for other singularities. In this paper we
show that a big freeze singularity in GR can in some cases be
smoothed to a sudden or a type IV singularity under the EiBI
scenario. Similarly, a sudden or a type IV singularity in GR
can be replaced in some regions of the parameter space by
a type IV singularity or a loitering behaviour, respectively,
in the EiBI framework. Furthermore, we find that the auxil-
iary metric related to the physical connection usually has a
smoother behaviour than that based on the physical metric.
In addition, we show that bound structures close to a big rip
or a little rip will be destroyed before the advent of the singu-
larity and will remain bound close to a sudden, big freeze or
type IV singularity. We then constrain the model following
a cosmographic approach, which is well known to be model
independent, for a given Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–
Walker geometry. It turns out that among the various past or
present singularities, the cosmographic analysis can pick up
the physical region that determines the occurrence of a type
IV singularity or a loitering effect in the past. Moreover, to
determine which of the future singularities or doomsdays is

cosmographic parameters are required.
1 Introduction
With no doubt general relativity (GR) is an extremely suc-
cessful theory about to become centenary [2]. Nevertheless, it
is expected to break down at some point at very high energies
where quantum effects can become important, for example
in the past evolution of the universe where GR predicts a big
bang singularity[3].This is one of the motivations for looking
for possible extension of GR. Moreover, it is hoped that mod-
ified theories of GR, while preserving the great achievements
of GR, would shed some light over the unknown fundamen-
tal nature of dark energy or whatsoever stuff that drives the
present accelerating expansion of the universe (see Refs. [4–
9] and references therein), said in other words: What is the
hand that started recently to rock the cradle?
Indeed, several observations, ranging from type Ia Super-
novae (SNeIa) [10–12] (which brought the first evidence)
to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) [13,14], the
baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) [15–17], gamma ray
bursts (GRB) [18] and measures of the Hubble parameter
at different redshifts [19] among others, showed that the uni-
verse has entered in the recent past a state of acceleration
if homogeneity and isotropy is assumed on its largest scale.
Actually, observations show that such an accelerating state
is fuelled by an effective matter whose equation of state is
pretty much similar to that of a cosmological constant but
which could as well deviate from it by leaving room for
quintessence and phantom behaviours, the latter being known
123
90 Page 2 of 23 Eur. Phys. J. C (2015) 75 :90
to induce future singularities (see Ref. [20] and references
therein). Therefore, it is of interest to formulate consistent
modified theories of gravity that could appease the cosmolog-
ical singularities and could shed some light over the late-time
acceleration of the universe. Of course, an alternative way to
deal with dark energy singularities is to invoke a quantum
approach as done in Ref. [21].
A very interesting theory at this regard has been refor-
mulated recently: the Eddington-inspired-Born–Infeld the-
ory (EiBI) [22–24], as its name indicates, is based on the grav-
itational theory proposed by Eddington [25] with an action
similar to that of the non-linear electrodynamics of Born and
Infeld [26]. Such an EiBI theory is formulated in the Palatini
approach, i.e., the connection that appears in the action is
not the Levi-Civita connection of the metric in the theory.
For a metric approach to the EiBI theory see Ref. [27]. Like
Eddington theory [25], EiBI theory is equivalent to GR in
vacuum, however, it differs from it in the presence of matter.
Indeed while GR cannot avoid the big bang singularity for
a universe filled with matter with a constant and a positive
equation of state (with flat andhyperbolic spatial section), the
EiBI setup does as shown in [24,28]. The EiBI scenario was
as well proposed as an alternative to the inflationary paradigm
[29] through a bounce induced by an evolving equation of
state fed by a massive scalar field. This model comes with
the bonus of overcoming the tensor instability previously
found in the EiBI model in Ref. [30](seealso[31] for an
analysis of the scalar and vectorial perturbations for a radi-
ation dominated universe and the studies of the large scale
structure formation in Ref. [32]). Black hole solutions with
charged particles and the strong gravitational lensing within
the EiBI theory are studied in Ref. [33]. Besides, the fulfil-
ment of the energy conditions in the EiBI theory was studied
in Ref. [34] and a sufficient condition for singularity avoid-
ance under the fulfilment of the null energy condition was
obtained. Additionally, it was shown that the gravitational
collapse of non-interacting particles does not lead to singular
states in the Newtonian limit [35]. Furthermore, the parame-
ter characterising the theory has been constrained using solar
models [36], neutron stars [37] and nuclear physics [38].
Very recently, neutron stars and wormhole solutions in the
EiBI theory were analysed in [39–41]. Especially in [41],
the authors showed that the universal relations of the f-mode
oscillation [42], which is the fundamental mode of pulsation
in the neutron stars, and the I-Love-Q relations [43], which
refers to the relation among the moment of inertia, tidal Love
numbers (which are parameters measuring the rigidity of a
planetary body and the susceptibility of its shape to change
in response to a tidal potential) and the quadrupole moment
of the neutron stars, found in GR are also valid in the EiBI
theory. A theory which combines the EiBI action and the f(R)
action is also analysed in Refs. [44,45](seealsoRef.[46]).
A drawback of this theory is that it shares some pathologies
with Palatini f(R) gravity such as curvature singularities at
the surface of polytropic stars [47](seealso[48
]).
We showed recently that despite the big bang avoidance in
the EiBI setup, the big rip [49–56] is unavoidable in the EiBI
phantom model [1]. In this paper, we will assume an EiBI
model and we will carry a thorough analysis of the possi-
ble avoidance of the other dark energy related singularities,
known as: (i) sudden, type II, big brake or big démarrage
singularity [57–60], (ii) type III or big breeze singularity
[59–63] and (iii) type IV singularity [59,60,64,65].
Those singularities can show up in GR when a Friedmann–
Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) universe is filled with
a Generalised Chaplygin gas (GCG) [60] (more precisely,
a phantom Generalised Chaplygin gas, or pGCG for short)
which has a rather chameleonic behaviour despite its simple
equation of state [60,61]. Indeed, the GCG can unify the role
of dark matter and dark energy [66,67] (for a recent update of
the subject see Ref. [68]), avoid the big rip singularity [69],
describe some primitive epoch of the universe [70] and alle-
viate the observed low quadruple of the CMB [71]. We will
complete our analyses by considering as well the possible
avoidance of the little rip event [72] in the above mentioned
setup.
In the EiBI theory, there are two metrics, the first one g
μν
appears in the action and couples to matter, the second one is
the auxiliary one which is compatible with the connection
[24]. The two metrics reduce to the original one in GR when
the curvature term is small. Therefore, we will analyse the
singularity avoidance with respect to both metrics. Further-
more, we will use the geodesic equations compatible with
both metrics to study the behaviour of the physical radius of
a Newtonian bounded system near the singularities. For an
exhaustive analysis of the geodesics close to the dark energy
related singularities in GR see Refs. [73,74]. As a result, we
find that the asymptotic behaviour of g
μν
, more precisely the
Hubble parameter and its cosmic time derivatives as defined
from the metric g
μν
, near the singularities is consistent with
that of the geodesic behaviour dictated by the same metric
g
μν
. However, the events corresponding to the singularities
with respect to g
μν
are usually well behaved as observed by
the connection, and therefore the auxiliary metric, and so do
the geodesic equations defined from the physical connection.
In addition, we show that bound structures close to a big rip
or little rip will be destroyed before the advent of the singu-
larity and will remain bound close to a sudden, big freeze or
type IV singularity. This result is independent of the choice
of the physical or auxiliary metric.
We will further complete our analyses by getting some
observational constraints on the model through the use of a
cosmographic approach [75–78]. This analysis will show that
the EiBI model when filled with the matter content mentioned
in the previousparagraph on top of the dark and baryonic mat-
ter is compatible with the current acceleration of the universe.
123
Eur. Phys. J. C (2015) 75 :90 Page 3 of 23 90
The cosmographic approach relies on putting constraints on
some parameters which quantify the time derivatives of the
scale factor and which are called the cosmographic param-
eters [75–78]. These parameters depend exclusively on the
space-time geometry, in this case on the geometry of a homo-
geneous and isotropic space-time, and not on the gravita-
tional action or the equations of motion that describe the
model (see Ref. [76] for a nice review of the subject). Hence,
this approach is quite usefulbecause given a set of constraints
on the cosmographic parameters [75,78], it can be applied to
a large amount of models in particular to those with relatively
messy Friedmann equations like the one we need to deal with
[29]. The drawback of this approach is that with the current
observational data the errors can be quite large [75,78–83].
Nevertheless, we think it is a fair enough approach for the
analysis we want to carry out. Essentially, we will show that
among the various birth events or past singularities predicted
by the theory, the cosmographic analyses pick up the phys-
ical region which determines the occurrence of a type IV
singularity (or a loitering effect) in the past, which is the
most unharmful of all the types of dark energy singularities.
Among the various possible future singularities or dooms-
days predicted, the use of observationalconstraints on higher-
order cosmographic parameters is necessary to predict which
future singularity is more probable.
The paper is outlined as follows. In Sect. 2, we briefly
review the idea of the EiBI theory and present a thorough
analysis of the avoidance of various singularities in this the-
ory, through deriving the asymptotic behaviours of the Hub-
ble parameter and its cosmic time derivatives near the sin-
gularities for both metrics (physical and auxiliary). In Sect.
3, we analyse the effects of the cosmological expansion on
local bound systems in the EiBI scenario by analysing the
geodesics of test particles for both metrics close to a mas-
sive body. In Sect. 4, we use a cosmographic approach to
constrain the model and calculate the cosmic time elapsed
since now to the possible, past or future, singularities. The
conclusions and discussions are presented in Sect. 5.
2 The EiBI model and dark energy related singularities
We start reviewing the EiBI model whose gravitational action
in terms of the metric g
μν
and the connection
α
μν
reads [24]
S

The theory is formulated within the Palatini approach and
therefore the Ricci tensor is purely constructed from the con-
nection . In addition, R
μν
() in the action (2.1) is chosen
to be the symmetric part of the Ricci tensor and the con-
nection is also assumed to be torsionless. Within the Pala-
tini formalism we are assuming here, the connection
α
μν
and the metric g
μν
are treated as independent variables. The
parameter κ is a constant with inverse dimensions to that of
a cosmological constant (in this paper, we will work with
Planck units 8π G = 1 and set the speed of light to c = 1),
λ is a dimensionless constant and S
m
(g,) stands for the
matter Lagrangian in which matter is assumed to be cou-
pled covariantly to the metric g only. Therefore, the energy
momentum tensor derived from Eq. (2.1) is conserved like in
GR [24]. One can also note that the action (2.1) will recover
the Einstein–Hilbert action as |κ R| gets very small with an
effective cosmological constant = (λ − 1)/κ [24]. From
now on we will assume a vanishing effective cosmological
constant, i.e., λ = 1. In addition, we will restrict our analy-
sis to a positive κ, in order to avoid the imaginary effective
sound speed instabilities usually present in the EiBI theory
with negative κ [37].

density ρ and pressure p, the Friedmann equation reads [29]

dimensionless cosmic time:

to the cosmic time as defined from the physical metric g

.
When the curvature gets very small, i.e., |κ R||g|,the

Recall that the EiBI theory recovers GR when |κ R| is very
small as shown in [24]. On the other hand, the conservation
equation, as mentioned previously, takes the standard form
d ¯ρ

H( ¯ρ +¯p) = 0. (2.4)
It can easily be verified that the big bang singularity can
be avoided in this theory for a radiation dominated universe
[24]; i.e. ¯p =¯ρ/3, and in general a universe filled with a
perfect fluid with a constant and positive equation of state w;
1
The leading order in the expansion of the scalar curvature with respect
to ¯ρ satisfies κ R ∝¯ρ at the low energy density limit, thus we can expand
with respect to the energy density when the low curvature assumption
is considered.

i.e., fulfilling the null energy conditions [3], bounces in the
past for κ<0 or has a loitering behaviour in the infinite past
for κ>0[28].

and a is the scale factor of the physical metric g

the auxiliary metric q

Notice that

where w is also a constant equation of state parameter. This
auxiliary metric which is compatible with the physical con-
nection cannot avoid the big bang singularity in the past
because both H

and dH

finite past
˜
t, and so does the Ricci scalar defined in Eq. (2.9).
We will next analyse the possible avoidance of dark energy
singularities in the EiBI setup. Those singularities, as we will
next review, are characterised by a possible divergence of the
Hubble parameter and its cosmic time derivatives at some
finite cosmic time. This translates into possible divergences
of the scalar curvature and its cosmic time derivatives. The
EiBI model we are considering is formulated within the Pala-
tini formalism and therefore there are two ways of defining
the Ricci curvature: (i) R
μν
() as presented in the action
(2.1) and (ii) R
μν
(g) constructed from the metric g
μν
.
There are in addition four ways of defining the scalar cur-
vature: g
μν
R
μν
(), g
μν
R
μν
(g),q
μν
R
μν
() andq
μν
R
μν
(g).
Therefore whenever one refers to singularity avoidance, one
must specify the specific curvature one is referring to. For the
dark energy singularities the important issue is the behaviour
of the Hubble parameter and its cosmic time derivatives and
in this case we have two possible quantities for the Hubble
parameter: H related to the physical metric and H
q
related
to the physical connection as defined in Eq. (2.8).
In general, the universe is filled with radiation, dark and
baryonic matter and dark energy:

de
and ¯p

are the energy density of radiation, matter, dark energy and
the pressure of dark energy, respectively. Note that p
de
( ¯ρ
de
)
means that the equation of state of dark energy is purely a
function of the dark energy density. For the sake of complete-
ness, we will assume a universe filled with a matter contents
as shown in Eq. (2.12) throughout the analysis in this paper.
Note that even though dark matter and radiation are unim-
portant for the analysis of future singularities, they are not
for the analysis of past singularities.
Before starting our analysis, we will review the definition
of these dark energy related singularities:
• The big rip singularity happens at a finite cosmic time
with an infinite scale factor where the Hubble parameter
and its cosmic time derivative diverge [49–56].
• The sudden singularity takes place at a finite cosmic time
with a finite scale factor, where the Hubble parameter
remains finite but its cosmic time derivative diverges [57–
59].
• The big freeze singularity happens at a finite cosmic time
with a finite scale factor where the Hubble parameter and
its cosmic time derivative diverge [59–63].
• Finally the type IV singularity occurs at a finite cosmic
time with a finite scale factor where the Hubble parame-
ter and its cosmic time derivative remain finite, but higher
cosmic time derivatives of the Hubble parameter still
diverge [59,61–65].
To analyse the big freeze, sudden and type IV singularities,
we regard the phantom generalised Chaplygin gas (pGCG) as
the dark energy component in this model [60,69].Its equation
of state takes the form:
¯p
de
=−
A
( ¯ρ
de
)
α
, (2.13)
123
Eur. Phys. J. C (2015) 75 :90 Page 5 of 23 90
where α and A > 0 are two dimensionless constants. In
GR, this kind of phantom energy will drive a past sudden
singularity for α>0, a future big freeze singularity for α<
−1, and a past type IV singularity for −1 <α<0 except for
some quantised values of α in which the Hubble rate and its
higher-order derivatives are all regular in the finite past [60].
Note that the last case is different from the results shown
in Ref. [60] because in that reference the authors assumed
a universe filled only with a pGCG instead of the matter
content given in Eq. (2.12) to which we will stick in this paper.
Actually, the addition of radiation and matter contributions
does not make any comparable difference from the cases in
which past sudden and future big freeze occur in GR, i.e.,
α>0 and α<−1, respectively. However, the conclusion is
different when −1 <α<0. See Ref. [84] for more details
of this issue.
After integrating the conservation equation (2.4) and
assuming α>−1, one can derive the energy density of this
kind of pGCG which drives the finite past sudden or type IV
singularity in GR [60]:
¯ρ
de
= A
1
1+α
1 −
a
a
min
−3(1+α)
1
1+α
, (2.14)
where a
min
is the scale factor corresponding to the singularity.
For later convenience, we also rewrite the energy density
in terms of the scale factor as
¯ρ
de
=¯ρ
de0
1 −
a
min
a
3(1+α)
1 − a
min
3(1+α)

1+α
. (2.15)
Note here that we have set the scale factor at present, a
0
,
as a
0
= 1 and we will use this convention in the rest of this
paper. A subscript 0 stands for quantities evaluated today. On
the other hand, if α<−1 and A > 0, the energy density of
this pGCG which drives the finite future big freeze singularity
in GR reads [60]:
¯ρ
de
= A
1
1+α
1 −
a
a
max
−3(1+α)
1
1+α
, (2.16)
where a
max
is the scale factor corresponding to the future
singularity.
We also rewrite the energy density in terms of the scale
factor as follows for the sake of later convenience:
¯ρ
de
=¯ρ
de0
1 −
a
max
a
3(1+α)
1 − a

3(1+α)

. (2.17)
Additionally, there are some special case in which the
phantom character shares the same equation of state (2.13)
while does not imply A > 0, as shown in Refs. [60,69]. This
special pGCG will drive a finite future big freeze singularity
in GR and its energy density and pressure are

EiBI scenario in the upcoming subsection.
2.1 The EiBI scenario and the big rip

We showed recently that despite the big bang avoidance in
the EiBI setup, the big rip singularity [49,50] is unavoid-
able in the EiBI phantom model [1]. Indeed, we have shown
analytically and numerically that in the EiBI theory, a uni-
verse filled with matter and phantom energy with a constant
equation of state w<−1 will still hit a big rip singularity;
i.e. the Hubble parameter

¯
H and its
cosmic time derivative near the singularity are almost linear
functions of the energy density:

Therefore, at very large scale factor and energy density
(which grows as ¯ρ ∝ a

for w<−1 and constant),

t get equally large. This happens at a finite future
cosmic time [1].

expansion in ¯ρ is inversely proportional to ¯ρ. Furthermore,
we also find that the energy density blows up and
