$\Lambda$CDM Bounce Cosmology without $\Lambda$CDM: the case of modified
  gravity
  We provide an $F(R)$ gravity description of a $\Lambda$CDM bouncing model,
without the need for matter fluids or for cosmological constant. As we
explicitly demonstrate, the two cosmological eras that constitute the
$\Lambda$CDM bouncing model, can be generated by $F(R)$ gravity which can lead
to accelerating cosmologies. The resulting F(R) gravity has Einstein frame
inflationary properties that have concordance to the latest Planck
observational data. Both the $F(R)$ gravity stability properties are thoroughly
investigated and also, the gravitational particle production, a feature
necessary for the viability of the $\Lambda$CDM bounce scenario, is also
addressed. As we will show, the $\Lambda$CDM bounce model can be successfully
described by pure $F(R)$ gravity, with appealing phenomenological attributes,
which we extensively discuss.
