Abstract: | In contrast to standard ECSK theory with the Brans-Dicke scalar field ( ) nonminimally coupled to the curvature scalar, an additional new pseudo scalar term n

The new term is non-zero due to the non-symmetric nature of the connection and vanishes identically in the general theory of relativity. We show that there exists a nonsingular cosmological solution for a spatially flat (k=0) Robertson-Walker line element in the radiation era; therefore our model has no big bang. |
