Unified cosmology with scalar–tensor theory of gravity

Abstract Unlike the Noether symmetry, a metric independent general conserved current exists for non-minimally coupled scalar–tensor theory of gravity if the trace of the energy-momentum tensor vanishes. Thus, in the context of cosmology, a symmetry exists both in the early vacuum and radiation domin...
