Abstract:

Exact analytical solutions are obtained for a higher dimensional spherically symmetric inhomogeneous metric in presence of a mass-less scalar field with a flat potential within the framework of Lyra geometry. Assuming a homogeneous scalar field, we have shown that the metric can be reduced to a generalized FRW type.
