Abstract A noncustomary gauge theory of general relativity, developed in detail in the preceding paper (II), is here applied to cosmology. A universe that is homogeneous and isotropic in the customary gauge, is considered-first generally, and then in more detail for the case where the noncustomary universe is matter dominated and static. With a particular choice ofσ equation, this model is solved and a new relation between customary mass density, Hubble constant, and deceleration parameter is found. For a customary deceleration parameter of 1.98, this relation yields a customary mass density of 3.1×10−31 g/cm3-in good agreement with experiment. Finally, the age of the universe in this model is found to be〉6.6× 109 yr, again in agreement with other estimates.
