Abstract

The ekpyrotic phase (a slow contraction cosmic phase before the current expansion phase) manages to solve the main problems of the standard cosmology by means of a scalar field interpreted as a cosmic fluid in the Friedmann equation. Moreover, this phase generates a nearly scale-invariant spectrum of perturbations in agreement with the latest data. Then, the ekpyrotic mechanism is a serious possibility to the inflationary model. In this work-by using the approach of deforming metrics at linear level-we point out that it is impossible to generate a black hole with spherical symmetry supported by an isotropic fluid in this cosmological scenario.
