Abstract

The object of the present paper is to characterize spacetimes with different types of energy–momentum tensor. At first we consider spacetimes with pseudo symmetric energy–momentum tensor T. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a spacetime with pseudo symmetric energy–momentum tensor to be a pseudo Ricci symmetric spacetime. Next we consider the spacetimes with Codazzi type of energy–momentum tensor and several interesting results are pointed out. Moreover, some results related to perfect fluid spacetimes with different forms of energy–momentum tensors have been obtained. We study spacetimes with quadratic Killing energy–momentum tensor T and show that a GRW spacetime with quadratic Killing energy–momentum tensor is an Einstein space. Finally, we have considered general relativistic spacetimes with semisymmetric energy–momentum tensor and obtained some important results.
