Abstract
This paper deals with the existence of proper conformal Killing vectors (CKVs) in Kantowski-Sachs metric. Subject to some integrability conditions, the general form of vector filed generating CKVs and the conformal factor is presented. The integrability conditions are solved generally as well as in some particular cases to show that the non-conformally flat Kantowski-Sachs metric admits two proper CKVs, while it admits a 15-dimensional Lie algebra of CKVs in the case when it becomes conformally flat. The inheriting conformal Killing vectors (ICKVs), which map fluid lines conformally, are also investigated.
