Abstract
We present a complete classification of locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi-I space–times in accordance with their conformal Ricci collineations (CRCs). In the case where the Ricci tensor is nondegenerate, we find a general form of the vector field generating CRCs subject to some integrability conditions. Solving the integrability conditions in different cases, we find that the LRS Bianchi-I space–times admit 7-, 10-, 11-, or 15-dimensional Lie algebras of CRCs in the case where the Ricci tensor is nondegenerate. Moreover, we find that these space–times admit an infinite number of CRCs if the Ricci tensor is degenerate. We give some examples of LRS Bianchi-I space–times that admit nontrivial CRCs and are models of a perfect fluid.
