International Journal of Theoretical Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Five dimensional Kaluza-Klein Space-time is considered in the presence of thick domain walls in the scalar-tensor theory formulated by Brans and Dicke (Phys. Rev. 124:925, 1961). Exact cosmological model, in this theory, is presented with the help of special law of variation proposed by Berman (Nuovo Cim. B 74:182, 1983) for Hubble’s parameter. Some physical and kinematical properties of the model are also discussed.
