Five dimensional spherically symmetric perfect fluid cosmological model in a scalar-tensor theory of gravitation

Five dimensional spherically symmetric space-time is considered in the presence of perfect fluid source in the scalar-tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez and Ballester (Phys. Lett. A 113:467, 1986). An exact solution of the field equations is obtained using a relation between the metric potentials which represents a stiff fluid model in this theory. Some physical properties of the model are also discussed.
