Classification of spacetimes according to conformal Killing vectors |
Conformal Killing vectors (CKVs) preserve the metric up to a factor. Homothetic vectors and Killing vectors are special cases of CKVs. Classification of some classes of spacetimes is presented. It is shown that earlier classifications according to Homothetic and Killing vectors can be recovered in this manner. Physically interesting cases are also discussed. |
