Domain walls in Lyra geometry

In this paper we have discussed two models of domain walls within the framework of Lyra geometry. An exact solution is obtained for a thick non static domain wall. The space time is non singular both in its spatial and temporal behavior and the gravitational field experienced by a test particle is attractive. It is found that these exists no particle horizon in our case. Also we have presented a spherical domain wall with nonvanishing stress components in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the wall. The gravitational field of the domain wall is shown to be attractive in nature. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
