Higher-dimensional Bianchi type-III universe with strange quark matter attachedto string cloud in general relativity

Abstract

In this paper, our intention is to construct 5-dimensional Bianchi type-III cosmological models for quarkmatter attached to a string cloud in general relativity. Di erent cases for the metric potentials are considered andstudied. The physical and kinematical behaviors of all the models are discussed. It is observed that most of the modelsadmit initial singularity.
