Brans-Dicke Cosmology in an Anisotropic Model When Velocity of Light Varies
Abstract
In this paper, we have studied Brans-Dicke (BD) Cosmology in an anisotropic Kantowski-Sachs space-time model; considering variation of the velocity of light. We have addressed the flatness problem considering both cases namely (i) when the Brans-Dicke scalar field ϕ is constant (ii) when ϕ varies, specially for radiation dominated era perturbatively and non-perturbatively and asymptotic behaviour have been studied.
