چکیده
With the new cosmological data gathered over the last few years, the inflationary paradigm has seen its predictions largely unchallenged. A recent proposal, called the ekpyrotic scenario, was argued to be a viable competitor as it was claimed that the spectrum of primordial perturbations it produces is scale invariant. By investigating closely this scenario, we show that the corresponding spectrum depends explicitly on an arbitrary function of wavenumber and is therefore itself arbitrary. It can at will be set scale invariant. We conclude that the scenario is not predictive at this stage.
