Hamiltonian study of the Generalized scalar-tensor theory with potential in a Bianchi type I model

Abstract

We study the generalized scalar tensor theory with a potential in the Bianchi type I model by using the ADM formalism. We examine the conditions for the Universe to be in expansion, isotropic and with a positive potential at late time in the Brans-Dicke and Einstein frames. In particular, we analyse the two important cases where metric functions tend, in an asymptotic way, toward power or exponential laws in the Einstein frame.
