This paper is devoted to the investigation of the consequences of timelike and spacelike matter inheritance vectors in specific forms of energy–momentum tensor, i.e. for string cosmology (string cloud and string fluid) and perfect fluid. Necessary and sufficient conditions are developed for a space–time with string cosmology and perfect fluid to admit a timelike matter inheritance vector, parallel to ua and spacelike matter inheritance vector, parallel to xa. We compare the outcome with the conditions of conformal Killing vectors. This comparison provides us the conditions for the existence of matter inheritance vector when it is also a conformal Killing vector. Finally, we discuss these results for the existence of matter inheritance vector in the special cases of the above mentioned space–times.

In this paper, we will examine the problem of violation of causality in [Formula: see text] modified gravity, where [Formula: see text] is the Ricci scalar and [Formula: see text] is the trace of the energy–momentum tensor [Formula: see text]. We investigate the causality problem in two special cases, in the first we consider the matter content of the universe as a perfect fluid and in the second case, the matter content is a perfect fluid plus a scalar field.

We explore the aspects of the electromagnetism on the stability of gravastar in a particular modified theory, i.e. [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] is the Ricci scalar and [Formula: see text] is the trace of energy–momentum tensor. We assume a spherically symmetric static metric coupled comprising of perfect fluid in the presence of electric charge. The purpose of this paper is to extend the results of [S. Ghosh, F. Rahaman, B. K. Guha and S. Ray, Phys. Lett. B 767 (2017) 380.] to highlight the effects of [Formula: see text] gravity in the formation of charged gravastars. We demonstrated the mathematical formulation, utilizing different equations of state, for the three respective regions (i.e. inner, shell, exterior) of the gravastar. We have matched smoothly the interior de Sitter and the exterior Reissner–Nordström metric at the hypersurface. At the end we extracted few conclusions by working on the physical features of the charged gravastar, mathematically and graphically.

We give a simple example of spacetime metric, illustrating that homogeneity and isotropy of space slices at all moments of time is not obligatory lifted to a full system of six Killing vector fields in spacetime, thus it cannot be interpreted as a symmetry of a four-dimensional metric. The metric depends on two arbitrary and independent functions of time. One of these functions is the usual scale factor. The second function cannot be removed by coordinate transformations. We prove that it must be equal to zero, if the metric satisfies Einstein’s equations and the matter energy–momentum tensor is homogeneous and isotropic. A new, equivalent, definition of homogeneous and isotropic spacetime is given.

This paper studies the viable regions of some cosmic models in a higher derivative [Formula: see text] theory with the help of energy conditions (where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the Ricci scalar, d’Alembert’s operator and trace of energy–momentum tensor, respectively). For this purpose, we assume a flat Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric which is assumed to be filled with perfect fluid configurations. We take two distinct realistic models that might be helpful to explore stable regimes of cosmological solutions. After taking some numerical values of cosmic parameters, like crackle, snap, jerk (etc.) as well as viable constraints from energy conditions, the viable zones for the under observed [Formula: see text] models are examined.

In this paper we discuss matter inheritance collineations by giving a complete classification of spherically symmetric static space–times by their matter inheritance symmetries. It is shown that when the energy–momentum tensor is degenerate, most of the cases yield infinite dimensional matter inheriting symmetries. It is worth mentioning here that two cases provide finite dimensional matter inheriting vectors even for the degenerate case. The nondegenerate case provides finite dimensional matter inheriting symmetries. We obtain different constraints on the energy–momentum tensor in each case. It is interesting to note that if the inheriting factor vanishes, matter inheriting collineations reduce to be matter collineations already available in the literature. This idea of matter inheritance collineations turn out to be the same as homotheties and conformal Killing vectors are for the metric tensor.

Quasilocal definitions of stress-energy–momentum—that is, in the form of boundary densities (in lieu of local volume densities) — have proven generally very useful in formulating and applying conservation laws in general relativity. In this Essay, we take a basic look into applying these to cosmology, specifically using the Brown–York quasilocal stress-energy–momentum tensor for matter and gravity combined. We compute this tensor and present some simple results for a flat FLRW spacetime with a perfect fluid matter source. We emphasize the importance of the vacuum energy, which is almost universally underappreciated (and usually “subtracted”), and discuss the quasilocal interpretation of the cosmological constant.

Considering the perfect fluid as a source of energy–momentum tensor, we have classified locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type V spacetimes according to their conformal Ricci collineations (CRCs). It is shown that the LRS Bianchi type V spacetimes with perfect fluid matter admit 9- or 15-dimensional Lie algebra of CRCs when the Ricci tensor is non-degenerate, while the group of CRCs is infinite for degenerate Ricci tensor.

In this paper, we investigate homothetic Ricci collineations (HRCs) for non-static plane symmetric spacetimes. The source of the energy–momentum tensor is assumed to be a perfect fluid. Both degenerate as well as non-degenerate cases are considered and the HRC equations are solved in different cases. It is concluded that these spacetimes may possess 6, 7, 8, 10 or 11 HRCs in non-degenerate case, while they admit seven or infinite number of HRCs for degenerate Ricci tensor.
