A note on teleparallel conformal Killing vector fields in plane symmetric non-static spacetimes

Abstract

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.
