A static cosmological model

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik

Abstract

A static cosmological model of the universe based onLyra's modified Riemannian Geometry is proposed. The red-shift of spectral lines from extra-galactic nebulae is shown to be a consequence of an inherent geometrical property of the model independent of expansion. The model is similar to the staticEinstein model but shows a red-shift and has a finite density even without the introduction of a cosmological constant.
