Bianchi type-V string cosmological models in general relativity

Abstract

Bianchi type V string cosmological models in general relativity are investigated. To get the exact solution of Einstein's field equations, we have taken some scale transformations followed by Camci $\it et ~ al$ (2001). It is shown that Einstein's field equations are solvable for any arbitrary cosmic scale function. Solution for particular form of cosmic scale functions are also obtained. Some physical and geometrical aspects of the models are discussed.
