Bouncing behaviours in four dimensional Einstein Gauss-Bonnet gravity with cosmography and observational constraints

This manuscript is based on an investigation of bouncing cosmology in a 4D Einstein Gauss-Bonnet gravity. Various bouncing models such as symmetric bounce, matter bounce, super bounce, and oscillatory bounce have been examined. Expressions for energy density, pressure, equation of state parameter have been derived in the most general manner and then reduced to 4D Einstein Gauss-Bonnet gravity for isotropic, homogenous, FLRW cosmos. Physical interpretation of Hubble and deceleration parameters has also been discussed and plotted for each model from non-vanishing scale factors. Non-singular bouncing models indulge in accelerating late-time cosmic acceleration phenomenon. It has been analysed that the Gauss-Bonnet coupling parameter has a lesser contribution to the dynamics of modified gravity while the bouncing parameter has noticeable effects. We have examined various energy conditions and witnessed the violation of strong and null energy conditions in bouncing models. Analytical expressions for jerk and snap parameters have also been calculated in terms of cosmic time and redshift. We have explored bouncing models through specific cosmographic tests to check their validity. Also, through stability analysis, matter bounce becomes the most stable model by increasing the value of the bouncing parameter. To find best-fit values, bouncing models have been constrained with Hubble data set and Λ CDM. We have calculated the values of parameters by applying the least-square fitting method. To make this analysis quantified, we have employed reduced chi-squared method on H ( z ) data sets for each model.
