Emergent universe scenario and the low CMB multipoles
  In this work we study superinflation in the context of the emergent universe
(EU) scenario. The existence of a superinflating phase before the onset of
slow-roll inflation arises in any emergent universe model. We found that the
superinflationary period in the EU scenario produces a suppression of the CMB
anisotropies at large scale which could be responsible for the observed lack of
power at large angular scales of the CMB.
