The cosmological term and a modified Brans-Dicke cosmology.
Abstract
Adding the cosmological term Λ, which is assumed to be variable in this paper, to the Brans-Dicke Lagrangian, we try to understand the meaning of the term and to relate it to the mass of the universe. We also touch upon the Dirac large-number hypothesis, applying the results obtained from the application of our theory to a uniform cosmological model.
