摘要
We study the Brans-Dicke theory of gravity in Riemann-Cartan space-times and obtain general torsion solutions, which are completely determined by the Brans-Dicke scalar field Phi, in the false- vacuum-energy- dominated epoch. The substitution of the torsion solutions back to our action gives the original Brans-Dicke action with Phi-dependent Brans-Dicke parameter omega(Phi). The evolution of omega(Phi) during the inflation is studied and it is found that omega approaches infinity at the end of inflation. This may solve the omega-problem in the extended inflation model.
