We consider two generalizations of the Killing vector fields in the 3D Sol space. Conformal Killing vector fields are the first generalization, 2-Killing vector fields are the second. We characterize proper conformal Killing vector fields and determine some proper 2-Killing vector fields in Sol space.

This paper intends to obtain concircular vector fields (CVFs) of Kantowski–Sachs and Bianch type-III spacetimes. For this purpose, ten conformal Killing equations and their general solution in the form of conformal Killing vector fields (CKVFs) are derived along with their conformal factors. The obtained conformal Killing vector fields are then placed in Hessian equations to obtain the final form of concircular vector fields. The existence of concircular symmetry imposes restrictions on the metric functions. The conditions imposing restrictions on these metric functions are obtained as a set of integrability conditions. It is shown that Kantowski–Sachs and Bianchi type-III spacetimes admit four-, six-, or fifteen-dimensional concircular vector fields. It is established that for Einstein spaces, every conformal Killing vector field is a concircular vector field. Moreover, it is explored that every concircular vector field obtained here is also a conformal Ricci collineation.

Our aim in this paper is to obtain concircular vector fields (CVFs) on the Lorentzian manifold of Bianchi type-I spacetimes. For this purpose, two different sets of coupled partial differential equations comprising ten equations each are obtained. The first ten equations, known as conformal Killing equations are solved completely and components of conformal Killing vector fields (CKVFs) are obtained in different possible cases. These CKVFs are then substituted into second set of ten differential equations to obtain CVFs. It comes out that Bianchi type-I spacetimes admit four-, five-, six-, seven- or 15-dimensional CVFs for particular choices of the metric functions. In many cases, the CKVFs of a particular metric are same as CVFs while there exists few cases where proper CKVFs are not CVFs.

In the differential geometry of certain [Formula: see text]-structures, the role of [Formula: see text]-curvature tensor is very well known. A detailed study of this tensor has been made on the spacetime of general relativity. The spacetimes satisfying Einstein field equations with vanishing [Formula: see text]-tensor have been considered and the existence of Killing and conformal Killing vector fields has been established. Perfect fluid spacetimes with vanishing [Formula: see text]-tensor have also been considered. The divergence of [Formula: see text]-tensor is studied in detail and it is seen, among other results, that a perfect fluid spacetime with conserved [Formula: see text]-tensor represents either an Einstein space or a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmological model.

The aim of this paper is to explore teleparallel conformal Killing vector fields (CKVFs) of locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type V spacetimes in the context of teleparallel gravity and compare the obtained results with those of general relativity (GR). The general solution of teleparallel conformal Killing's equations is found in terms of some unknown functions of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], along with a set of integrability conditions. The integrability conditions are solved in some particular cases to get the final form of teleparallel CKVFs. It is observed that the LRS Bianchi type V spacetimes admit proper teleparallel CKVF in only one case, while in remaining cases the teleparallel CKVFs reduce to teleparallel Killing vector fields (KVFs). Moreover, it is shown that the LRS Bianchi type V spacetimes do not admit any proper teleparallel homothetic vector field (HVF).

The aim of this paper is to investigate teleparallel conformal Killing vector fields (CKVFs) in plane symmetric non-static spacetimes. Ten teleparallel conformal Killing’s equations are obtained which are linear in the components of the teleparallel CKVF [Formula: see text]. A general solution of these equations comprising the components of CKVF and conformal factor is presented, which subject to some integrability conditions. For seven particular choices of the metric functions, the integrability conditions are completely solved to get the final form of teleparallel CKVFs and conformal factor. In four different cases we get proper CKVFs, while in the remaining three cases it is shown that teleparallel CKVFs reduce to teleparallel homothetic or teleparallel Killing vector fields.
