We develop a new model of a spinning particle in Brans-Dicke space-time using a metric-compatible connection with torsion. The particle's spin vector is shown to be Fermi-parallel (by the Levi-Civita connection) along its worldline (an autoparallel of the metric-compatible connection) when neglecting spin-curvature coupling.

The evolution of a universe with Brans-Dicke gravity and nonzero curvature is investigated here. We present the equations of motion and their solutions during the radiation dominated era. In a Friedman-Robertson-Walker cosmology we show explicitly that the three possible values of curvature κ = +1, 0,−1 divide the evolution of the Brans-Dicke universe into dynamically distinct classes just as f...

We have studied the Generalised Brans-Dicke theory and obtained exact solutions of a(t),φ(t), and ω(t) for different epochs of the cosmic evolution. We discuss how inflation,decceleration,cosmic acceleration can result from this solution.The time variation of G(t) is also examined .

Modified gravity theory is known to violate Birkhoff’s theorem. We explore a key consequence of this violation, the effect of distant matter in an Einstein-de Sitter universe on the motion of test particles. We find that when a particle is accelerated, a force is experienced that is proportional to the particle’s mass and acceleration and acts in the direction opposite to that of the accelerati...

Let us assume, that gravity is emergent low-energy phenomenon arising from the topologically stable defect in momentum space – the Fermi point. What are the consequences? We discuss the natural values of fermion masses and cosmological constant; flatness of the Universe; bounds on the Lorentz violation; etc.
