“…Further Soleng (1988) observed that for matter with zero spin the field equations of his scalar tensor theory reduce to those of Brans-Dicke theory. Various authors (Bhamra, 1974;Karade and Borker, 1978;Kalyanshetti and Waghmode, 1982;Reddy and Innaiah, 1986;Beesham, 1986Beesham, , 1988Reddy and Venkatteswarlu, 1987;Mohanty and Panigrahi, 1988;Singh, 1991, 1993;Singh and Desikan, 1997;Rahaman and Bera, 2001;Reddy, 2005) constructed different four dimensional cosmological models in Lyra manifold. Rahaman (2002) obtained an approximate solution around a global monopole resulting from the breaking of a global SO(3) symmetry in a five dimensional space time based on Lyra's geometry.…”
