We consider the existence of a Noether symmetry in the scalar–tensor theory of gravity in flat Friedman–Robertson–Walker (FRW) cosmology. The forms of coupling function ω(ϕ) and generic potential V(ϕ) are obtained by requiring the existence of a Noether symmetry for such theory. We derive exact cosmological solutions of the field equations from a point-like Lagrangian.

It has been shown earlier that Noether symmetry does not admit a form of corresponding to an action in which is coupled to scalar-tensor theory of gravity or even for pure theory of gravity taking anisotropic model into account. Here, we prove that theory of gravity does not admit Noether symmetry even if it is coupled to tachyonic field and considering a gauge in addition. To handle such a theory, a general conserved current has been constructed under a condition which decouples higher-order curvature part from the field part. This condition, in principle, solves for the scale-factor independently. Thus, cosmological evolution remains independent of the form of the chosen field, whether it is a scalar or a tachyon.

We investigate the weak-field limit of scalar-tensor theory of gravity and show that results are directly depending on the coupling and self-interaction potential of the scalar field. In particular, corrections are derived for the Newtonian potential. We discuss astrophysical applications of the results, in particular the flat rotation curves of spiral galaxies.
