Cosmic no-hair conjecture in scalar-tensor theories

Abstract

We have shown that, within the context of scalar-tensor theories, the anisotropic Bianchi-type cosmological models evolve towards de Sitter Universe. A similar result holds in the case of cosmology in Lyra, manifold. Thus the analogue of cosmic no-hair theorem of Wald [1] hold in both the cases. In fact, during inflation there is no difference between scalar-tensor theories, Lyra's manifold and general relativity (GR). © Indian Academy of Sciences.
