Identification of gravitationally lensed Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) in the BATSE 4B catalog can be used to constrain the average redshift <z> of the GRBs. In this paper we investigate the effect of evolving lenses on the <z> of GRBs in different cosmological models of the universe. The cosmological parameters Ω and Λ have an effect on the <z> of GRBs. The other factor which can change the <z> is the evolution of galaxies. We consider three evolutionary model of galaxies. In particular, we find that the upper limit on <z> of GRBs is higher in evolving model of galaxies as compared to non-evolving models of galaxies.

AbstractThe Cosmological Principle claims that in the large scale average the visible parts of the universe are isotropic and homogeneous. In year 1998 the author, together with his two colleagues, discovered that the BATSE’s short gamma-ray bursts are not distributed isotropically on the sky. This first discovery was followed by other ones confirming both the existence of anisotropies in the angular distribution of bursts and the existence of huge Gpc structures in the spatial distribution. All this means that these anisotropies should reject the Cosmological Principle, because the large scale averaging hardly can be provided. This was claimed in year 2009. The aim of this contribution is to survey these publications since 1998 till today.
