Symmetries and generalized higher order conserved vectors of the wave equation on Bianchi I spacetime

Abstract

Conservation laws of various systems have been studied for decades due to their unparalleled importance in unraveling systems’ intricacies without having to go into microscopic details of the physical process involved. Their association with symmetries has not only had a stupendous impact in the formulation of the fundamental laws of physics, but also open doors to further explorations and unifications of others. In this study, we present the Lie symmetries and nonlinearly self-adjoint classifications of the wave equation on Bianchi I spacetime. For different forms of the metric potentials, generalized higher order non-trivial conserved vectors are constructed. Some exact invariant solutions are also exhibited.
