Classification of non-conformally flat static plane symmetric perfect fluid solutions via proper conformal vector fields in f(T) gravity

Abstract

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.
