Abstract

In this paper, we are interested to investigate spatially homogeneous and totally anisotropic perfect cosmological model in the presence of an attractive massive scalar field in \(f(R,T)\) gravity in the background of Bianchi type-\(\mathit{III}\) space-time. Here \(R\) is the Ricci scalar and \(T\) is the trace of the energy momentum tensor. In order to solve the field equations, we have used (i) the expansion scalar of the space-time is proportional to the shear scalar which leads to a relationship between metric potentials and (ii) a power law between the scalar field and the average scale factor. We obtain a cosmological model of the universe with variable deceleration parameter. We have computed all the cosmological parameters of the model and discussed their physical importance.
