Collapse driven by a scalar field without final singularity

We explore a collapsing cosmology driven by a scalar field which is minimally coupled to gravity in a spatially at and spherically symmetric, isotropic and homogeneous space-time, with a variable timescale that avoids the final singularity. The equation of state that describes the collapse is $ω=1$. We calculate the back-reaction of the space-time during the collapse and the energy density fluctuations related to this back-reaction has a spectral index $n_s = 0$, favouring short-wavelengths modes to be detected. The interesting is that the amplitude of these fluctuations increase with time when the collapse is sufficiently strong.
