In this paper, we consider the Bianchi type-I space-time with perfect fluid as matter content of the Universe in the framework of $f(Q)$ gravity (where $% Q$ is the non-metricity scalar) recently proposed by Jim\'{e}nez et al. (Phys. Rev. D…
According to standard cosmology, the universe is homogeneous and isotropic at large scales. However, some anisotropies can be observed at the local scale in the universe through various ways. Here we have studied the Bianchi type I model…

Quantization in the minisuperspace of non minimal scalar-tensor theories leads to a partial differential equation which is non separable. Through a conformal transformation we can recast the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in an integrable form,…
