The Big Bang

The generalized Szekeres family of solution for quasi-spherical space–time of higher dimensions are obtained in the scalar tensor theory of gravitation. Brans–Dicke field equations expressed in Dicke's revised units are exhaustively solved for all the subfamilies of the said family. A particular group of solutions may also be interpreted as due to the presence of the so-called C-field of Hoyle and Narlikar and for a chosen sign of the coupling parameter. The models show either expansion from a big bang type of singularity or a collapse with the turning point at a lower bound. There is one particular case which starts from the big bang, reaches a maximum and collapses with the in course of time to a crunch.

In this paper, we have obtained field equations of Sáez–Ballester (Phys. Lett. A, 113, 467 (1986)) scalar–tensor theory in the presence of two minimally interacting fields; matter and holographic dark energy components in the space–time described by a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type VI0 space–time. We have used the hybrid expansion law, proposed by Akarsu et al. (JCAP, 01, 022 (2014)), to obtain a determinate solution of the field equations. This solution represents a minimally interacting Bianchi type VI0 Sáez–Ballester universe. Physical and kinematical properties of the universe are also studied.

Theory Of Gravitation

Plane symmetric solutions of a scalar-tensor theory proposed by Dunn have been obtained. These solutions are observed to be similar to the plane symmetric solutions of the field equations corresponding to zero mass scalar fields obtained by Patel. It is found that the empty space-times of general relativity discussed by Taub and by Bera are obtained as special cases.

The variational field equations of Brans–Dicke scalar-tensor theory of gravitation are given in a non-Riemannian setting in the language of exterior differential forms over four-dimensional spacetimes. A conformally rescaled Robinson–Trautman metric together with the Brans–Dicke scalar field are used to characterize algebraically special Robinson–Trautman spacetimes. All the relevant tensors are worked out in a complex null basis and given explicitly in an appendix for future reference. Some special families of solutions are also given and discussed.

The Universe

The standard Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) big-bang model of the universe requires special initial conditions: the early universe is highly homogeneous and isotropic even though there exist causally disconnected regions (horizon problem). A plane symmetric (anisotropic) solution of a system of field equations in a generalized theory of gravitation, predicts the beginning of the universe as a vacuum instability at a specific fundamental time (which can be associated with the Planck time (tp)), after which matter is created as the universe begins to expand. At a time t = tc there is a singular expansion, the anisotropy vanishes, and the physical horizon becomes infinite. Thereafter the solution of the field equations goes over into the FRW model. Thus the special initial conditions of the FRW model at the big-bang singularity t = tc are predicted by the theory.

The Big Bang

The exact solutions of the field equations for a Kantowski–Sachs space–time filled with cosmic strings in the framework of f(R) gravity are derived. The physical behavior of the model is studied. The function f(R) of the Ricci scalar is also evaluated for the model. This model represents a continuously expanding shearing universe (from the start of the big bang) currently entering the phantom phase.
