Bianchi Type-II, VIII & IX Perfect Fluid Cosmological Models in Brans Dicke Theory of Gravitation

Field equations in the presence of perfect fluid distribution are obtained in a scalar tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Brans and Dicke[1] with the aid of Bianchi type-II, VIII & IX metrics. Exact prefect fluid Bianchi type- IX cosmological model is presented since other models doesn’t exist in Brans-Dicke scalar tensor theory of gravitation. Some physical properties of the model are also discussed.

1. Introduction

Brans and Dicke [1] theory of gravitation is well known modified version of Einstein’s theory. It is a scalar tensor theory in which the gravitational interaction is mediated by a scalar field as well as the tensor field of Einstein’s theory. In this theory the scalar field has the dimension of the inverse of the gravitational constant.In recent years, there has been a renewed interest of the gravitational constant. The latest inflationary models (Mathiazhagan and Johri [2]), possible “graceful exit” problem (Pimental [3]) and extended chaotic inflations (Linde [4]) are based on Brans and Dicke theory of gravitation.

Brans-Dicke field equations for combined scalar and tensor field are

and

where is an Einstein tensor,

is the stress energy tensor of the matter, is the dimensionless coupling constant and comma and semicolon denote partial and covariant differentiation respecttively.

The equation of motion

is a consequence of the field Equations (1.1) and (1.2).

Several aspects of Brans-Dicke cosmology have been extensively investigated by many authors. The work of Singh and Rai [5] gives a detailed discussion of BransDicke cosmological models. In particular, spatially homogeneous Bianchi models in Brans-Dicke theory in the presence of perfect fluid with or with out radiation are quite important to discuss the early stages of evolution of the universe.

Nariai [6], Belinskii and Khalatnikov [7], Reddy and Rao [8], Banerjee and Santos [9], Singh et al. [10], Shriram [11], Shriram and Singh [12], Berman et al. [13], Reddy [14], Reddy et al. [15], Adhav et al. [16] and Rao et al. [17,18] are some of the authors who have investigated several aspects of this theory.

Chakraborty [19], Raj Bali and Dave [20], Raj Bali and Yadav [21] studied Bianchi type IX string as well as viscous fluid models in general relativity. Reddy, Patrudu and Venkateswarlu [22] studied Bianchi typeII, VIII & IX models in scale covariant theory of gravitation. Shanthi and Rao [23] studied Bianchi type-VIII & IX models in Lyttleton-Bondi Universe. Also Rao and Sanyasi Raju [24] and Sanyasi Raju and Rao [25] have studied Bianchi type-VIII & IX models in Zero mass scalar fields and self creation cosmology. Rahaman et al. [26] have investigated Bianchi type-IX string cosmological model in a scalar-tensor theory formulated by Sen [27] based on Lyra [28] manifold. Rao et al. [29-31] have studied Bianchi type-II, VIII & IX string cosmological models, perfect fluid cosmological models in SaezBallester scalar-tensor theory of gravitation and string cosmological models in general relativity as well as self creation theory of gravitation respectively.

In this paper we discuss Bianchi type-II, VIII & IX perfect fluid cosmological models in a scalar-tensor theory proposed by Brans and Dicke [1].

2. Metric and Energy Momentum Tensor

We consider a spatially homogeneous Bianchi type-II, VIII and IX metrics of the form

Bianchi type-VIII if and

Bianchi type-IX if and

The energy momentum tensor for perfect fluid distribution is given by

Also

In the co moving coordinate system, we have from Equations (2.2) and (2.3)

3. Bianchi Type-II, VIII & IX Perfect Fluidcosmological Models in Brans-Dicke Theory of Gravitation

The field Equations (1.1), (1.2) & (1.3) for the metric (2.1) with the help of Equations (2.2), (2.3) and (2.4) can be written as

where “” denotes differentiation with respect to “t”.

When = 0, –1 & +1, the field Equations (3.1)-(3.6) correspond to the Bianchi type-II, VIII & IX universes respectively.

Using the transformation, , , where and are functions of “T” only.

The field Equations (3.1) to (3.6) reduce to

(3.8)

(3.9)

where “ ′ ” denotes differentiation with respect to “T”.

Since we are considering the Bianchi type-II, VIII and IX metrics, we have, & for Bianchi type-II, VIII and IX metrics respectively. Therefore, from the Equation (3.10), we will consider the following possible cases with.

CASE (1): and:

Here, we get

By using (3.13), the field Equations (3.7) to (3.12) will reduce to

(3.15)

where “ ′ ” denotes differentiation with respect to “T”.

From (3.14) and (3.15), we have

From (3.19), we observe that, we can’t find Bianchi type-II () and VIII () perfect fluid cosmological models in Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation. But we can get Bianchi type-IX perfect fluid cosmological model in Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation.

For, the field Equations (3.14)-(3.18) reduce to

From (3.20), (3.21) & (3.23), we get

FOR BIANCHI TYPE-IX METRIC:

From (3.36)-(3.38), we get

PHYSICAL AND GEOMETRICAL PROPERTIES:

The volume element of the above three models [(3.45), (3.48) & (3.51)] are given by

In the above expressions, the volume decreases as time increases if i.e., the models are contracting, the volume increases as time increases if i.e., the models are expanding and the volume is independent of time T if. Also the models have initial singularity at,.

The expansion and shear are equal for all Bianchi type-II, VIII & IX perfect fluid radiating cosmological models in general relativity. Which are given by

The deceleration parameter

It can be seen that for large “” the quantities and will become zero if. Also the quantities and tends to +∞ as if and tends to –∞ if.Thus the rate of expansion is rapid as time decreases, it becomes slow as time increases and the shape of universe changes uniformly. In the case of, we can see that the Spatial Volume “V” is independent of time “T” and, will become zero.

Also, since, the models are not isotropic for large T. The negative value of the deceleration parameter q shows that the models inflate except for m = 1.

CASE (3): and

Here, we get

Without loss of generality by taking the constant of integration, we get

Hence the field equations (3.7) to (3.12) reduce to general relativity field equations with.

where “ ′ ” denotes differentiation with respect to “T”.

From (3.53) and (3.54), we have

From (3.58), we observe that, we can’t find Bianchi type II () and VIII () perfect fluid cosmological models of general relativity. But we can get only Bianchi type IX perfect fluid cosmological model of general relativity.

4. Conclusions

Bianchi type space-times play a vital role in understanding and description of the early stages of evolution of the universe. In particular, the study of Bianchi type-II, VIII & IX universes are important because familiar solutions like FRW universe with positive curvature, the desitter universe, the Taub-Nut solutions etc correspond of Bianchi type-II, VIII & IX space-times. In view of the importance of Bianchi type-II, VIII & IX spacetimes and also since exact solutions offer an alternative and complementary approach to study various cosmological models, in this paper we have presented Bianchi type-II, VIII & IX perfect fluid cosmological models in BransDicke theory of gravitation.

In case of and, we can observe that the only Bianchi type-IX perfect fluid cosmological model exists in Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation. The model is anisotropic, inflationary and has initial singularity at,. Also established the non-existence of Bianchi type-II & VIII perfect fluid cosmological models in this theory. Since “a” is an arbitrary constant and “ω” is a coupling constant, it is always possible to assign specific values to “a” and “ω” to keep the pressure “p” (3.27) and density “ρ” (3.28) be always positive.

In case of and, we can observe that Bianchi type-II, VIII & IX perfect fluid radiating cosmological models of general relativity exist in this theory. The models have initial singularity at, and remain anisotropic throughout the evolution.

In case of and, we have obtained only Bianchi type-IX anisotropic radiating perfect fluid cosmological model of general relativity with. In this case also we have observed that Bianchi type-II & VIII cosmological models doesn’t exist in this theory.
