Popis: We investigate whether a self-interacting Brans–Dicke theory in $$d=5$$ without matter and with a time-dependent metric can describe, after dimensional reduction to $$d=4$$ , the FLRW model with accelerated expansion and non-relativistic matter. By rewriting the effective 4-dimensional theory as an autonomous 3-dimensional dynamical system and studying its critical points, we show that the $$\varLambda $$ CDM cosmology cannot emerge from such a model. This result suggests that a richer structure in $$d=5$$ may be needed to obtain the accelerated expansion as well as the matter content of the 4-dimensional universe.
