LRS Bianchi Type-I Domain Walls in a Saez-Ballester’s Scalar-Tensor Theory of Gravitation

Abstract

The problem of domain walls in LRS Bianchi type I space-time is considered in a scalar tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez and Ballester (1985). Exact solutions of the field equations are derived when the metric potentials are functions of cosmic time only. Some physical and geometric properties of the solutions are also discussed.
