Solutions to flat space Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmologies in Brans-Dicke theory with a cosmological constant are investigated. The matter is modelled as a $\gamma$-law perfect fluid. The field equations are reduced from fourth order to…
Quantum cosmology uses a wave function to model the universe, but finding solutions for this poses a problem as it is difficult to define the boundary conditions or identify the correct path for a path integral. We begin the discussion by…
This work aims to study consequences of \textit{combined variable field theory} developed in [1] by analysing FLRW models of gravity. It shows $\Phi_{q \rightarrow 0} \rightarrow \infty$ is the Big bang in combined variable field theoretic…
We develop a new approach to gravitational waves in which the Einstein equations are governed by the cosmological constant which is related to the existence of a manifold which is closed. We study an example in which the matter Lagrangian…
A scalar-tensor theory of gravity is formulated in which $G$ and particle masses are allowed to vary. The theory yields a globally static cosmological model with no evolutionary timescales, no cosmological coincidences, and no flatness and…

We examine the third quantization of $f(R)$-type gravity, based on its effective Lagrangian in the case of a flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker metric. Starting from the effective Lagrangian, we execute a suitable change of variable…
