The aim of this study is twofold. First, we use a new approach to study the homothetic vector fields (HVFs) of static plane symmetric space–times by an algorithm which we have developed using the Maple platform. The interesting feature of this algorithm is that it provides the most general form of metrics admitting HVFs as compared to those obtained in an earlier study where direct integration techniques were used. Second, the obtained metrics are used in Einstein’s field equations to compute the energy–momentum tensor and it is shown how the parameters involved in the obtained space–time metrics are associated with certain important energy conditions.

In this paper, we explore teleparallel conformal vector fields in non-static plane symmetric space-times in the teleparallel theory of gravitation using the direct integration technique and diagonal tetrads. This study will also cover the static plane symmetric space-times as well. In the teleparallel theory curvature of the non-static plane symmetric space-times is zero and the presence of torsion allows more symmetries. In this study after solving the integrabilty conditions it turns out that the dimension of teleparallel conformal vector fields are 5, 6, 7 or 8.

This paper investigates axially symmetric space–times that admit a homothetic vector field based on Lyra’s geometry. The cases when the displacement vector is a function of t and when it is constant are studied. In the context of this geometry, we find and classify the solutions of the Einstein’s field equations for the space–time under consideration, which display a homothetic symmetry.

Nonstatic plane symmetric spacetimes are considered to study conformal vector fields (VFs) in the [Formula: see text] theory of gravity. Firstly, we investigate some proper nonstatic plane symmetric spacetimes by solving the Einstein field equations (EFEs) in the [Formula: see text] theory of gravity using algebraic techniques. Secondly, we find CVFs of the obtained spacetimes by means of the direct integration approach. There exist seven cases. Studying each case in detail, we find that the CVFs are of dimension three, five, six and fifteen.

The aim of this paper is to classify non-conformally flat static plane symmetric (SPS) perfect fluid solutions via proper conformal vector fields (CVFs) in [Formula: see text] gravity. For this purpose, first we explore some SPS perfect fluid solutions of the Einstein field equations (EFEs) in [Formula: see text] gravity. Second, we utilize these solutions to find proper CVFs. In this study, we found 16 cases. A detailed study of each case reveals that in three of these cases, the space-times admit proper CVFs whereas in the rest of the cases, either the space-times become conformally flat or they admit proper homothetic vector fields (HVFs) or Killing vector fields (KVFs). The dimension of CVFs for non-conformally flat space-times in [Formula: see text] gravity is four, five or six.

A study of nonstatic spherically symmetric space–times according to their proper curvature collineations is given by using the rank of the 6×6 Riemann matrix and direct integration techniques. Studying proper curvature collineations in each case of the above space–times it is shown that when the above space–times admit proper curvature collineations, they turn out to be static spherically symmetric and form an infinite dimensional vector space. In the nonstatic cases curvature collineations are just Killing vector fields.

This work is to introduce a new kind of modified gravitational theory, named as [Formula: see text] (also [Formula: see text]) gravity, where [Formula: see text] is the Ricci scalar, [Formula: see text] is Gauss–Bonnet invariant and [Formula: see text] is the trace of the energy–momentum tensor. With the help of different models in this gravity, we investigate some physical features of different relativistic compact stars. For this purpose, we develop the effectively modified field equations, conservation equation, and the equation of motion for test particle. Then, we check the impact of additional force (massive test particle followed by a nongeodesic line of geometry) on compact objects. Furthermore, we took three notable stars named as [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The physical behavior of the energy density, anisotropic pressures, different energy conditions, stability, anisotropy, and the equilibrium scenario of these strange compact stars are analyzed through various plots. Finally, we conclude that the energy conditions hold, and the core of these stars is so dense.

This paper formulates the exact static anisotropic spherically symmetric solution of the field equations through gravitational decoupling. To accomplish this work, we add a new gravitational source in the energy–momentum tensor of a perfect fluid. The corresponding field equations, hydrostatic equilibrium equation as well as matching conditions are evaluated. We obtain the anisotropic model by extending the known Durgapal and Gehlot isotropic solution and examined the physical viability as well as the stability of the developed model. It is found that the system exhibits viable behavior for all fluid variables as well as energy conditions and the stability criterion is fulfilled.

This paper is aimed to evaluate the existence of wormholes in viable [Formula: see text] gravity models (where [Formula: see text] is the scalar curvature and [Formula: see text] is the trace of stress–energy tensor of matter). The exact solutions for energy–momentum tensor components depending on different shapes and redshift functions are calculated without some additional constraints. To investigate this, we consider static spherically symmetric geometry with matter contents as anisotropic fluid and formulate the Einstein field equations for three different [Formula: see text] models. For each model, we derive expression for weak and null energy conditions and graphically analyzed its violation near the throat. It is really interesting that wormhole solutions do not require the presence of exotic matter — like that in general relativity. Finally, the stability of the solutions for each model is presented using equilibrium condition.
