Abstract

We analyze solutions to Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmologies in Brans-Dicke theory, where a scalar field is coupled to gravity. The cosmological solutions of Brans-Dicke theory, characterized by a decaying vacuum energy density and by a constant relative matter density, considering Robertson-Walker universe, exact solutions have been obtained in Brans-Dicke cosmology in absence of term ? cosmological. Matter is modelled by a ?-law perfect fluid, including vacuum energy as a special case. The properties of homogeneity and isotropy, the cosmological principle requires that the contents of universal matter are described as a perfect fluid, for which if an assumed energy-momentum tensor. Therefore, our goal is to find the equations that govern the dynamics of this content in an inflationary universe.
