UDC 514.7 Let ( M , g ) be a Riemannian manifold and T M be its tangent bundle equipped with a Riemannian (or pseudo-Riemannian) lift metric derived from g .  We give a classification of infinitesimal fibre-preserving conformal transformations on the tangent bundle.

In this paper, we classify proper non-static cylindrically symmetric (CS) perfect fluid space-times via conformal vector fields (CVFs) in the [Formula: see text] gravity. In order to classify the space-times, we use the algebraic and direct integration approaches. In the process of classification, there exist 23 cases for which the considered space-times become proper non-static. By studying each case in detail, we find that the conformal vector fields are of dimensions two, three and fifteen in the [Formula: see text] gravity.

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.

In this paper, we consider a manifold with a dynamical vector field and enquire about the possible tangent bundle structures which would turn the starting vector field into a second-order one. The analysis is restricted to manifolds which are diffeomorphic with affine spaces. In particular, we consider the problem in connection with conformal vector fields of second-order and apply the procedure to vector fields conformally related with the harmonic oscillator ([Formula: see text]-oscillators). We select one which covers the vector field describing the Kepler problem.

In this paper, we have studied proper conformal vector fields of pp-wave space-times in the [Formula: see text] theory of gravity using algebraic and direct integration techniques. From this study, we found that a very special class of pp-waves known as plane fronted gravitational waves (GWs) is a solution in the [Formula: see text] theory of gravity. In order to find proper conformal vector fields, plane GWs are further classified in ten cases. Studying each case in detail it turns out that in two cases proper conformal vector fields exist while in the rest of eight cases, conformal vector fields become homothetic vector fields.

In this paper, we present a study of proper conformal vector fields of spatially homogeneous rotating space-times in the [Formula: see text] theory of gravity. A total of six cases have been discussed in detail. It is found that the conformally non-flat spatially homogeneous rotating space-times do not admit proper conformal vector fields, while in a conformally flat case the space-time admits 15 independent conformal vector fields.

We study proper teleparallel conformal vector fields in spherically symmetric static spacetimes. The main objective of this paper is to present the classification for the above-mentioned spacetimes. The problem has been examined by two methods: direct integration technique and diagonal tetrads. We show that the spherically symmetric static spacetimes do not admit proper teleparallel conformal vector field, so are actually the teleparallel killing vector fields.
