Energy-Momentum Distribution of Non-Static Plane Symmetric Spacetimes in GR and TPT

This paper is devoted to explore the energy-momentum of non-static plane symmetric spacetimes in the context of General Relativity and teleparallel theory of gravity. For this purpose, we use four prescriptions, namely, Einstein, Landau-Lifshitz, Bergmann-Thomson and Møller in both theories. It is shown that the results for the first three prescriptions turn out to be same in both the theories but different for last prescription. It is mentioning here that our results coincide with the results obtained by Sharif and kanwal [1] for Bell-Szekeres metric under certain choice of the metric functions.

Proper Matter Collineations of Plane Symmetric Spacetimes

We investigate matter collineations of plane symmetric spacetimes when the energy-momentum tensor is degenerate. There exists three interesting cases where the group of matter collineations is finite-dimensional. The matter collineations in these cases are either four, six or ten in which four are isometries and the rest are proper.

Symmetries of the Energy-Momentum Tensor: Some Basic Facts

It has been pointed by Hall et al. [1] that matter collinations can be defined by using three different methods. But there arises the question of whether one studies matter collineations by using the ${\cal L}_ξT_{ab}=0$, or ${\cal L}_ξT^{ab}=0$ or ${\cal L}_ξT_a^b=0$. These alternative conditions are, of course, not generally equivalent. This problem has been explored by applying these three definitions to general static spherically symmetric spacetimes. We compare the results with each definition.
