Cylindrically symmetric inhomogeneous universe with electromagnetic field in string cosmology

Abstract

Cylindrically symmetric inhomogeneous string cosmological model in presence of electromagnetic field is investigated. We have assumed that F 23 is the only non-vanishing component of F ij . To get the deterministic solution, it has been assumed that the expansion (θ) in the model is proportional to the eigen value σ 1 1 of the shear tensor σ i j . The physical and geometric aspects of the model are also discussed.
