Emergent universe revisited through the CSL theory
  In this work we analyze how the spectrum of primordial scalar perturbations
is modified, within the emergent universe scenario, when a particular version
of the Continuous Spontaneous Localization (CSL) model is incorporated as the
generating mechanism of initial perturbations, providing also an explanation to
the quantum-to-classical transition of such perturbations. On the other hand, a
phase of super-inflation, prior to slow-roll inflation, is a characteristic
feature of the emergent universe hypothesis. In recent works, it was shown that
the super-inflation phase could generically induce a suppression of the
temperature anisotropies of the CMB at large angular scales. We study here
under what conditions the CSL maintains or modifies these characteristics of
the emergent universe and their compatibility with the CMB observations.
