A cyclic scale-invariance universe with negative variable cosmological constant

Abstract: The AdS vacuum corresponds to a negative cosmological constant $Λ$. While it is well-motivated theoretically, There has always been controversy over its actual existence. The AdS-dS transition is corresponding to a sign switching $Λ$. We have proposed an ansatz for a negative time-varying cosmological constant $Λ(H)$ as a function of Hubble parameter $H$, and used it in constructing a periodic model with no future singularity in a scale-invariance gravity. With the proposed Ansatz for negative $Λ$, The model leads to a physically acceptable cosmic description, while we get unphysical parameters with the positive and zero values of $Λ$. The model reveals a Quintom behavior with a sign flipping of cosmic pressure during each period. The non-conventional mechanism of negative $Λ$ that are expected to address the late-time acceleration has been revisited.
