Abstract

The field equations of the generalized field theory constructed by Mikhail and Wanas have been applied to a well-established geometrical structure given earlier by H. P. Robertson in connection with the cosmological problem. A unique solution, representing a specified expanding Universe (withq 0=0, Ω0=0.75,k=−1) has been obtained. The model obtained has been compared with cosmological observations and with FRW-models of relativistic cosmology. It has been shown that the suggested model is free of particle horizons. The existence of singularities has been discussed. The two cases, when the associated Riemannian-space has a definite or indefinite metric are considered. The case of indefinite metric with signature (+ − − −) is found to be characterized byk=−1, while the case of +ve definite metric is characterized byk=+1. Apart from that difference, the two cases give rise to the same cosmological parameters. It has been shown that energy conditions are satisfied by the material contents in both cases.
