J 4 1 1 Abstract 1 v The form of the coupling of the scalar field with gravity and the potential have been found by applying N o¨ther 2 5 theorem to 2-dimensional minisuperspaces in induced gravity model. It has been observed that though the forms 0 thus obtained are consistent with all the equations £X L = 0 , yet they do not satisfy the field equations fork = ±1 7 , in Robertson-Walker model. It has been pointed out that this is not due to the degeneracy of the Lagrangian, 0 since this problem does not appear in k = 0 case. It has also been shown that though No¨ther theorem fails to 1 extract any symmetry from the Lagrangian of such model for k = ±1, symmetry exists, which can easily be found 0 / by studying the continuity equation. c Keywords : Induced gravity theory, N o¨ther symmetry ; cosmology. q - r g 1 Introduction : v i The idea of applying N o¨ther theorem to cosmological minisuperspaces is not far too old. In 1990, De Rities etal X [1], perhaps for the first time applied it to the homogeneous isotropic cosmological models of general theory of r a relativity with a minimally coupled scalar field. Since then, lot of works came ou
