Phys. 45 （2006） 95], a complete classification is provided with at least one component of the vector field V is zero. In this paper, I consider the vector field V with all non-zero components and the static space times with maximal symmetric transverse spaces are classified according to their Ricci collineations. These are investigated for non-degenerate Ricci tensor det R ≠0. It turns out that the only collineations admitted by these spaces can be ten, seven, six or four. It also covers our previous results as a spacial case. Some new metrics admitting proper Ricci collineations are also investigated.展开更多

The classification is made when one component of Ricci collineation vector field V is non-zero （cases 1 - 4）, two components of V are non-zero （cases 5 - 10）, and three components of V are non-zero （cases 11 - 14）, respectlvily. Both non-degenerate （detRab ≠ 0） as well as the degenerate （det Rab = 0） cases are discussed and some new metrics are found.展开更多

Based on the Einstein field equations in general relativity, we establish a general formulation for determining the metric tensor of the Einstein manifold that represents a physical field in terms of the energy-momentum tensor that characterises the physical field. As illustrations, we first apply the general formulation to represent the perfect fluid as Einstein manifold. However, from the established relation between the metric tensor and the energy-momentum tensor, we show that if the trace of the energy-momentum tensor associated with a physical field is equal to zero then the corresponding physical field cannot be represented as an Einstein manifold. This situation applies to the electromagnetic field since the trace of the energy-momentum of the electromagnetic field vanishes. Nevertheless, we show that a system that consists of the electromagnetic field and non-interacting charged particles can be represented as an Einstein manifold since the trace of the corresponding energy-momentum of the system no longer vanishes. As a further investigation, we show that it is also possible to represent physical fields as maximally symmetric spaces of constant scalar curvature.展开更多
