Geometrical Origin of the Cosmological Term

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

Nonmetricity derived from a scalar field is shown to exist as a cosmic field, without direct coupling to matter. It leads to a variable cosmological term, a term that dominates the expansion in the early universe but dies away at later time.
