Abstract
We studied a superbounce scenario in a set up of the Brans–Dicke (BD) theory. The BD parameter was considered to be time-dependent and was assumed to evolve with the Brans–Dicke scalar field. In the superbounce scenario, the model bounced at an epoch corresponding to a Big Crunch provided the ekpyrotic phase continued until that time. Within the given superbounce scenario, we investigated the evolution of the BD parameter for different equations of state. We chose an axially symmetric metric that has an axial symmetry along the x-axis. The metric was assumed to incorporate an anisotropic expansion effect. The effect of asymmetric expansion and the anisotropic parameter on the evolving and non-evolving parts of the BD parameter was investigated.
