Classification of proper teleparallel conformal symmetry of spherically symmetric static spacetimes using diagonal tetrads

We study proper teleparallel conformal vector fields in spherically symmetric static spacetimes. The main objective of this paper is to present the classification for the above-mentioned spacetimes. The problem has been examined by two methods: direct integration technique and diagonal tetrads. We show that the spherically symmetric static spacetimes do not admit proper teleparallel conformal vector field, so are actually the teleparallel killing vector fields.

Teleparallel conformal Killing vector fields of LRS Bianchi type V spacetimes in teleparallel gravity

The aim of this paper is to explore teleparallel conformal Killing vector fields (CKVFs) of locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type V spacetimes in the context of teleparallel gravity and compare the obtained results with those of general relativity (GR). The general solution of teleparallel conformal Killing's equations is found in terms of some unknown functions of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], along with a set of integrability conditions. The integrability conditions are solved in some particular cases to get the final form of teleparallel CKVFs. It is observed that the LRS Bianchi type V spacetimes admit proper teleparallel CKVF in only one case, while in remaining cases the teleparallel CKVFs reduce to teleparallel Killing vector fields (KVFs). Moreover, it is shown that the LRS Bianchi type V spacetimes do not admit any proper teleparallel homothetic vector field (HVF).

A note on teleparallel conformal Killing vector fields in plane symmetric non-static spacetimes

The aim of this paper is to investigate teleparallel conformal Killing vector fields (CKVFs) in plane symmetric non-static spacetimes. Ten teleparallel conformal Killing’s equations are obtained which are linear in the components of the teleparallel CKVF [Formula: see text]. A general solution of these equations comprising the components of CKVF and conformal factor is presented, which subject to some integrability conditions. For seven particular choices of the metric functions, the integrability conditions are completely solved to get the final form of teleparallel CKVFs and conformal factor. In four different cases we get proper CKVFs, while in the remaining three cases it is shown that teleparallel CKVFs reduce to teleparallel homothetic or teleparallel Killing vector fields.

Killing Symmetry in Special Axially Symmetric Static Spacetimes in Teleparalel Theory of Gravitation

In this paper we are searching for teleparallel Killing vector fields of special axially symmetric static spacetimes in teleparallel theory of gravitation by using direct integration and algebraic techniques. After thorough investigations, the whole problem is divided into three cases under different constraints. Two of the said cases give contradiction, while one of them gives the solution of the system comprising the killing equations in the form of killing vector fields. The dimension of the killing symmetry in this case is 10.

Teleparallel Homothetic Symmetry of Special Axially Symmetric Static Spacetime

In this paper we are interested to find teleparallel proper homothetic vector fields over the Lorentzian manifold of special axially symmetric static spacetime. For the purpose we applied teleparallel Lie derivative to the metric for homothetic equations and obtained ten coupled non linear differential equations. These equations are then solved for each possibility of the metric functions and it comes out that only in one case teleparallel proper homothetic vector fields exist for the special choice of metric functions. The spacetime admit eight dimensional teleparallel homothetic vector fields in which one is proper teleparallel homothetic vector and remaining seven are teleparallel Killing vector fields

A Note on Classification of Cylindrically Symmetric Non-static Space–Times According to Their Teleparallel Killing Vector Fields in the Teleparallel Theory of Gravitation

In this paper, we explored the conservation laws of cylindrically symmetric non-static space–times by using direct integration technique. This classification also covers non-static plane symmetric space–times, static cylindrically symmetric space–times and plane symmetric static space–times. In this paper, we will only present the results of non-static cylindrically symmetric and non-static plane symmetric space–times. The results of static cylindrically symmetric space–times and plane static space–times can be found in Shabbir and Khan (Mod Phys Lett A 25:525, 2010). It turns out that the non-static cylindrically symmetric space–times admit four, five, or seven conservation laws. It is important to note that the above space–times admit at least one or at the most four extra conservation laws.

A note on teleparallel Killing vector fields in Bianchi type VIII and IX space—times in teleparallel theory of gravitation

In this paper we classify Bianchi type VIII and IX space—times according to their teleparallel Killing vector fields in the teleparallel theory of gravitation by using a direct integration technique. It turns out that the dimensions of the teleparallel Killing vector fields are either 4 or 5. From the above study we have shown that the Killing vector fields for Bianchi type VIII and IX space—times in the context of teleparallel theory are different from that in general relativity.

A Note on Classification of Spatially Homogeneous Rotating Space-Times According to Their Teleparallel Killing Vector Fields in Teleparallel Theory of Gravitation

In this paper we classify spatially homogeneous rotating space-times according to their teleparallel Killing vector fields using direct integration technique. It turns out that the dimension of the teleparallel Killing vector fields is 5 or 10. In the case of 10 teleparallel Killing vector fields the space-time becomes Minkowski and all the torsion components are zero. Teleparallel Killing vector fields in this case are exactly the same as in general relativity. In the cases of 5 teleparallel Killing vector fields we get two more conservation laws in the teleparallel theory of gravitation. Here we also discuss some well-known examples of spatially homogeneous rotating space-times according to their teleparallel Killing vector fields.

Classification of Kantowski–Sachs and Bianchi Type III Space-Times According to Their Killing Vector Fields in Teleparallel Theory of Gravitation

In this paper we classify Kantowski–Sachs and Bianchi type III space-times according to their teleparallel Killing vector fields using direct integration technique. It turns out that the dimension of the teleparallel Killing vector fields are 4 or 6, which are the same in numbers as in general relativity. In case of 4 the teleparallel Killing vector fields are multiple of the corresponding Killing vector fields in general relativity by some function of t. In the case of 6 Killing vector fields the metric functions become constants and the Killing vector fields in this case are exactly the same as in general relativity. Here we also discuss the Lie algebra in each case.

A NOTE ON KILLING VECTOR FIELDS OF BIANCHI TYPE II SPACETIMES IN TELEPARALLEL THEORY OF GRAVITATION

The aim of this paper is to classify Bianchi type II spacetimes according to their teleparallel Killing vector fields using the direct integration technique. Studying teleparallel Killing vector fields in the above spacetimes, it turns out that the dimensions of the teleparallel Killing vector fields are 4, 5 or 7. A brief comparison between teleparallel and general relativity Killing vector fields are given. It is shown that for the above spacetimes in the presence of torsion we get more conservation laws which are different from the theory of general relativity.

CLASSIFICATION OF CYLINDRICALLY SYMMETRIC STATIC SPACETIMES ACCORDING TO THEIR KILLING VECTOR FIELDS IN TELEPARALLEL THEORY OF GRAVITATION

In this paper we classify cylindrically symmetric static spacetimes according to their teleparallel Killing vector fields using direct integration technique. It turns out that the dimension of the teleparallel Killing vector fields are 3, 4, 6 or 10 which are the same in numbers as in general relativity. In case of 3, 4 or 6 the teleparallel Killing vector fields are multiple of the corresponding Killing vector fields in general relativity by some function of r. In the case of 10 Killing vector fields the spacetime becomes Minkowski spacetime and all the torsion components are zero. The Killing vector fields in this case are exactly the same as in general relativity. Here we also discuss the Lie algebra in each case. It is important to note that this classification also covers the plane symmetric static spacetimes.

In case of 3, 4 or 6 the teleparallel Killing vector fields are multiple of the corresponding Killing vector fields in general relativity by some function of t. In the case of 10 Killing vector fields, the spacetime becomes Minkowski and all the torsion components are zero. The Killing vector fields in this case are exactly the same as in the general relativity.
