The collection of all projective vector fields on a Finsler space (M, F) is a finite-dimensional Lie algebra with respect to the usual Lie bracket, called the projective algebra. A specific Lie sub-algebra of projective algebra of Randers spaces (called the special projective algebra) of non-zero constant S-curvature is studied and it is proved that its dimension is at most [Formula: see text]. Moreover, a local characterization of Randers spaces whose special projective algebra has maximum dimension is established. The results uncover somehow the complexity of projective Finsler geometry versus Riemannian geometry.

A study of proper projective symmetry in spherically symmetric static space–times is given by using algebraic and direct integration techniques. It is shown that a special class of the above space–time admits proper projective vector fields.

Let $M$ is a (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold and $TM$ be its tangent bundlewith the semi-symmetric metric connection $\overline{\nabla }$. In thispaper, we examine some special vector fields, such as incompressible vectorfields, harmonic vector fields, concurrent vector fields, conformal vectorfields and projective vector fields on $TM$ with respect to thesemi-symmetric metric connection $\overline{\nabla }$ and obtain someproperties related to them.

In this paper, we investigate proper projective vector fields of locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type V spacetimes using direct integration and algebraic techniques. Despite the non-degeneracy in the Riemann tensor eigenvalues, we classify proper Bianchi type V spacetimes and show that the above spacetimes do not admit proper projective vector fields. Here, in all the cases projective vector fields are Killing vector fields.
