Abstract

In this study, we consider a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe in the context of Palatini theory of gravity. Using the dynamical equivalence between gravity and scalar-tensor theories, we construct a point Lagrangian in the flat FRW spacetime. Applying {\em Noether gauge symmetry approach} for this Lagrangian we find out the form of and the exact solution for cosmic scale factor. It is shown that the resulting form of yield a power-law expansion for the scale factor of the universe.
