Cosmological solution with matter in a new theory of gravitation
Keyword(s):
We present a plane-symmetric, homogeneous solution with matter in a theory of gravitation based on a non-symmetric Hermitian metric. The solution describes a universe which begins with finite 4-curvature, energy density, and temperature. The initial temperature [Formula: see text] depends on a new parameter κ in the theory. An analysis of primordial helium abundance gives rise to a lower bound [Formula: see text]. The resulting cosmology is consistent with all presently known observations.
