Abstract

In this post-doctoral project we study the possible signatures generated by non-singular models in Quantum Cosmology on the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB). We shall study CMB anisotropies generated not only by primordial Gravitational Waves (PGW), but by curvature perturbations induced by these non-singular models as well. Also, we shall investigate the possible non-gaussianity generated by such models, and compare the theoretical predictions with the available WMAP5 data and with the preliminar Planck satellite data.
