In the present paper we characterize a type of spacetimes, called almost pseudo Z-symmetric spacetimes A(PZS)4. At first, we obtain a condition for an A(PZS)4 spacetime to be a perfect fluid spacetime and Roberson-Walker spacetime. It is shown that an A(PZS)4 spacetime is a perfect fluid spacetime if the Z tensor is of Codazzi type. Next we prove that such a spacetime is the Roberson-Walker spacetime and can be identified with Petrov types I, D or O[3], provided the associated scalar ? is constant. Then we investigate A(PZS)4 spacetimes satisfying divC = 0 and state equation is derived. Also some physical consequences are outlined. Finally, we construct a metric example of an A(PZS)4 spacetime.

The object of this paper is to study spacetimes admitting W2-curvature tensor. At first we prove that a W2-flat spacetime is conformally flat and hence it is of Petrov type O. Next, we prove that if the perfect fluid spacetime with vanishing W2-curvature tensor obeys Einstein's field equation without cosmological constant, then the spacetime has vanishing acceleration vector and expansion scalar and the perfect fluid always behaves as a cosmological constant. It is also shown that in a perfect fluid spacetime of constant scalar curvature with divergence-free W2-curvature tensor, the energy-momentum tensor is of Codazzi type and the possible local cosmological structure of such a spacetime is of type I, D or O.

The objective of the present paper is to study weakly Ricci symmetric spacetimes. Among others, we prove that a weakly Ricci symmetric spacetime obeying Einstein’s field equation without cosmological constant represents stiff matter. Moreover, it is shown that the local cosmological structure of a weakly Ricci symmetric perfect fluid spacetime can be identified as Petrov type [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]. Next, we prove that a dust and dark fluid weakly Ricci symmetric spacetime satisfying Einstein’s field equation without cosmological constant is vacuum. Finally, we show the non-existence of radiation era in such a spacetime.

In this paper, we study anisotropic spheres built from known static spherical solutions. In particular, we are interested in the physical consequences of a "small" departure from a physically sensible configuration. The obtained solutions smoothly depend on free parameters. By setting these parameters to zero, the starting seed solution is regained. We apply our procedure in detail by taking as seed solutions the Florides metrics, and the Tolman IV solution. We show that the chosen Tolman IV solution, and also the Heint IIa and Durg IV,V perfect fluid solutions, can be used to generate a class of parametric solutions where the anisotropic factor has features recalling boson stars. This is an indication that boson stars could emerge by "perturbing" appropriately a perfect fluid solution (at least for the seed metrics considered). Finally, starting with the Tolman IV, Heint IIa and Durg IV,V solutions, we build anisotropic gravastar-like sources with the appropriate boundary conditions.

We show that the string gas — a perfect fluid with the equation of state [Formula: see text] possesses rather interesting properties. In Friedmann universes its presence can change the observable topology of the space; in the spherically symmetric spacetimes it produces rather bizzare geometries and in a way its influence on the rotation curves mimics the dark matter effects.

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.

The main goal of this paper is to study the properties of generalized Ricci recurrent perfect fluid spacetimes and the generalized Ricci recurrent (generalized Robertson–Walker (GRW)) spacetimes. It is proven that if the generalized Ricci recurrent perfect fluid spacetimes satisfy the Einstein’s field equations without cosmological constant, then the isotropic pressure and the energy density of the perfect fluid spacetime are invariant along the velocity vector field of the perfect fluid spacetime. In this series, we show that a generalized Ricci recurrent perfect fluid spacetime satisfying the Einstein’s field equations without cosmological constant is either Ricci recurrent or Ricci symmetric. An [Formula: see text]-dimensional compact generalized Ricci recurrent GRW spacetime with almost Ricci soliton is geodesically complete, provided the soliton vector field of almost Ricci soliton is timelike. Also, we prove that a (GR)n GRW spacetime is Einstein. The properties of (GR)n GRW spacetimes equipped with almost Ricci soliton are studied.
