Spectra of Relic Gravitons and Brans-Dicke Theory

Abstract

The spectra of relic gravitational waves produced as a result of cosmological expansion of the inflationary models are derived in Brans-Dicke theory of gravity.The time dependence of the very early Hubble parameter and matter energy density are derived from frequency dependent spectrum of relic gravitational waves.Also it is found that Brans-Dicke scalar field contributes to the energy density of relic gravitons.
