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.

In this paper we classify Bianchi type I spacetimes according to their teleparallel Killing vector fields using direct integration technique. It turns out that the dimension of the teleparallel Killing vector fields is 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 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.

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.

The aim of this paper is to find proper conformal vector fields of some Bianchi type II spacetimes in the f[Formula: see text](R[Formula: see text]) theory of gravity using direct integration technique. In this study, seven cases have been discussed. Studying each case in detail, it is shown that the spacetimes under consideration do not admit proper conformal vector fields. Conformal vector fields are either homothetic vector fields or Killing vector fields.

In this paper we explored teleparallel homothetic vector fields in Bianchi type I spacetimes in the teleparallel theory of gravitation using direct integration technique. It turns out that the dimensions of the teleparallel homothetic vector fields are 4, 5, 7 or 11 which are same in numbers as in general relativity. In the cases of 4, 5 or 7 proper teleparallel homothetic vector fields exist for the special choice of the spacetimes. In the case of 11 teleparallel homothetic vector fields all the torsion components are zero. The homothetic vector fields of general relativity are recovered in this case and the spacetime become Minkowski.

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.

The purpose of this paper is to find proper homothetic vector fields in plane symmetric perfect fluid static spacetimes in the [Formula: see text] theory of gravity by using direct integration technique. In this study, there exist six cases. Studying each case in detail, we found that in four cases proper homothetic vector fields exist while in the other two cases homothetic vector fields become Killing vector fields.

The purpose of this paper is to find conformal vector fields of some perfect fluid Kantowski–Sachs and Bianchi type III spacetimes in the [Formula: see text] theory of gravity using direct integration technique. In this study, there exist only eight cases. Studying each case in detail, we found that in two cases proper conformal vector fields exist while in the rest of the cases, conformal vector fields become Killing vector fields. The dimension of conformal vector fields is either 4 or 6.
