Classification of proper non-static cylindrically symmetric perfect fluid space-times via conformal vector fields in f(R) gravity

Abstract

In this paper, we classify proper non-static cylindrically symmetric (CS) perfect fluid space-times via conformal vector fields (CVFs) in the [Formula: see text] gravity. In order to classify the space-times, we use the algebraic and direct integration approaches. In the process of classification, there exist 23 cases for which the considered space-times become proper non-static. By studying each case in detail, we find that the conformal vector fields are of dimensions two, three and fifteen in the [Formula: see text] gravity.
