Non-static plane symmetric perfect fluid solutions and Killing symmetries in f(R,T) gravity

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, the non-static solutions for perfect fluid distribution with plane symmetry in f(R,T) gravitational theory are obtained. Firstly using the Lie symmetries, symmetry reductions are performed for considered vector fields to reduce the number of independent variables. Then, corresponding to each reduction, exact solutions are obtained. Killing vectors leads to different conserved quantities. There- fore, we figure out the Killing vector fields corresponding to all derived solutions. The derived solutions are further studied and it is observed that all of the obtained spacetimes, atleast admit the min- imal symmetry group consists of ∂y, ∂z and −z∂y + y∂z. The obtained metrics, admit 3, 4, 6, and 10, Killing vector fields. Con- servation of linear momentum in direction of y and z and angu- lar momentum along x axis is provided by all derived solutions.
