- Description
- We present a study on the non-minimal coupling of a vector field and gravity in the context of a Weyl integrable spacetime (WIST). The dynamics for this system is shown to allow a cosmic solution in which this vector field, responsible for the evolution of the metric properties of the Universe, can undergo unrestricted fluctuations. In a sense, the physical causes of the evolution of the cosmos seem to be uncontrollable themselves - a feature that can be thought of as representing a ''marionette Universe''.
