In this paper, we present a complete classification of Bianchi type II spacetime according to Ricci inheritance collineations (RICs). The RICs are classified considering cases when the Ricci tensor is both degenerate as well as non-degenerate. In case of non-degenerate Ricci tensor, it is found that Bianchi type II spacetime admits 4-, 5-, 6- or 7-dimensional Lie algebra of RICs. In the case when the Ricci tensor is degenerate, majority cases give rise to infinitely many RICs, while remaining cases admit finite RICs given by 4, 5 or 6.

AbstractOn a real hypersurface M in a complex two-plane Grassmannian G2() we have the Lie derivation and a differential operator of order one associated with the generalized Tanaka–Webster connection . We give a classification of real hypersurfaces M on G2() satisfying , where ξ is the Reeb vector field on M and S the Ricci tensor of M.

We show that ascreen null hypersurfaces of an $(n+2)$-dimensional Lorentzian concircular structure $(LCS)_{n+2}$-manifold admits an induced Ricci tensor. We, therefore, prove, under some geometric conditions, that an Einstein ascreen null hypersurface is locally a product of null curves and products of spheres.

AbstractAll possible symmetries of the non-degenerate Harrison space-times are found. It is shown that if such a space-time admits an r-parameter group of motions, with r > 1, then it must admit a 2-parameter Abelian subgroup.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of recurrent conformal 2-forms on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold of arbitrary signature. Some theorems already proved for the same differential structure on a Riemannian manifold are proven to hold in this more general contest. Moreover other interesting results are pointed out; it is proven that if the associated covector is closed, then the Ricci tensor is Riemann compatible or equivalently, Weyl compatible: these notions were recently introduced and investigated by one of the present authors. Further some new results about the vanishing of some Weyl scalars on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold are given: it turns out that they are consequence of the generalized Derdziński–Shen theorem. Topological properties involving the vanishing of Pontryagin forms and recurrent conformal 2-forms are then stated. Finally, we study the properties of recurrent conformal 2-forms on Lorentzian manifolds (space-times). Previous theorems stated on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold of arbitrary signature are then interpreted in the light of the classification of space-times in four or in higher dimensions.
