Matter Collineations of Some Well Known Spacetimes
Abstract
Description
We derive matter collineations of the Bianchi types I, II, III, VIII and IX, and Kantowski-Sachs spacetimes. It is found that matter collineations turn out similar to Ricci collineations with different constranit equations. We solve the constraint equation for a particular case and obtain three cosmological models which represent perfect fluid dust solutions.
