3. Cyclic Universe There is only single universe in each cycle or each spacelike slice. ”Cyclic multiverse” The number of independent universes increases cycle by cycle. there are lots of independent universes in each cycle or each spacelike slice.

4. The perturbation in collapse phase The spectrum of primordial perturbation can be scale Invariant during contraction. Starobinsky 1979, Wands 1999, Steinhardt, Turok et.al 2001 However, different from that in inflation, the amplitude of perturbation modes are increased after their leaving the horizon.

15. The perturbation in cyclic universe Thus in general, after several cycle, on super horizon scale In this case, it is obviously impossible that the different regions of global universe will evolve synchronously, even if they are synchronous in previous cycle.

16. The perturbation in cyclic universe if a region with super horizon scale has the density perturbation on corresponding scale larger than 1, such a region will correspond to a separated close universe.

18. The cyclic miltiverse Thus the global universe after several cycles will be inevitably separated into many different parts, each of which actually corresponds to a new universe and will evolve independently of one another, up to separation again.

19. The cyclic miltiverse However, in these case, the universe will be possibly split into smaller and smaller fragments, which will renders the cycle ultimately.

23. Summary 1. The super large scale structure of cyclic universe is generally not homogeneous, the reason is that perturbation on super horizon scale is increased during the contraction of each cycle. 2. Thus the global universe after several cycles will be inevitably separated into many different ``universe”, each of them evolves independently. This leads to a cyclic multiverse scenario. 3. In principle, the implementing of cyclic multiverse requires a period of accelerated expansion, which might provide an alternative motivation for the existence of dark energy.
