Abstract: | We study how the constants G and Λ may vary in different theoretical models (general relativity with a perfect fluid, scalar cosmological models (“quintessence”)
with and without interacting scalar and matter fields and a scalar-tensor model with a dynamical Λ) in order to explain some
observational results. We apply the program outlined in section II to study three different geometries which generalize the
FRW ones, which are Bianchi V, VII0 and IX, under the self-similarity hypothesis. We put special emphasis on calculating exact power-law solutions which allow
us to compare the different models. In all the studied cases we arrive at the conclusion that the solutions are isotropic
and noninflationary while the cosmological constant behaves as a positive decreasing time function (in agreement with the
current observations) and the gravitational constant behaves as a growing time function. |
