AbstractVacuum field equations in a scalar-tensor theory of gravitation, proposed by Ross, are obtained with the aid of a static plane-symmetric metric. A closed form exact solution to the field equations in this theory is presented which can be considered as an analogue of Taub's empty space-time in Einstein's theory.

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 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.

Spatially homogeneous, anisotropic, and tilted Bianchi type-VI0model is investigated in a new scalar-tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez and Ballester (1986) when the source for energy momentum tensor is a bulk viscous fluid containing one-dimensional cosmic strings. Exact solution of the highly nonlinear field equations is obtained using the following plausible physical conditions: (i) scalar expansion of the space-time which is proportional to the shear scalar, (ii) the barotropic equations of state for pressure and energy density, and (iii) a special law of variation for Hubble’s parameter proposed by Berman (1983). Some physical and kinematical properties of the model are also discussed.
