Abstract

We study how may behave the gravitational and the cosmological “constants”, (G and Λ) in several scalar-tensor theories with Bianchi II symmetries. By working under the hypothesis of self-similarity we find exact solutions for three different theoretical models, which are: the Jordan-Brans-Dicke (JBD) with Λ(ϕ), the usual JBD model with potential U(ϕ) (that mimics the behavior of Λ(ϕ)) and the induced gravity (IG) model proposed by Sakharov and Zee. After a careful study of the obtained solutions we may conclude that the solutions are quite similar although the IG model shows some peculiarities.
