Abstract

A class of exact solutions is obtained for non-static cylindrically symmetric space-time ofMarder corresponding to vacuum field equations of a scalar-tensor theory of gravitation as proposed bySen andDunn. We observe that, given any solution of the vacuum field equations of Einstein’s theory, it is possible to generate the solution of the corresponding field equations of theSen—Dunn theory. The presence of the scalar-interaction functionx 0 influences one of the parameters (viz. α) of theMarder’s metric. The solutions preserve the wave character as in Einstein’s theory.
