Description:
The paper analyzes the contributions of QSOs, BL-Lac objects and Seyfert galaxies to the diffuse gamma-ray background within the framework of the Hoyle-Narlikar theory. It is shown that the inconsistency reported in standard theory, namely that the evolutionary function needed to explain the gamma-ray data is very different from the one derived from the optical part of the spectrum, is no longer present. It is also shown that the contribution of a variable gravitational 'constant' to the expression for the diffuse background is the same as that of a density evolution function.
