Perfect fluid spacetimes, Gray’s decomposition and f (R, T )-gravity

Abstract

In this paper, first we give the complete classifications of perfect fluid spacetimes under the Gray’s decomposition. Then we investigate the condition under which the Ricci tensor is a conformal Killing tensor in a perfect fluid spacetime. Later, we study perfect fluid spacetimes in f(R, T)-gravity theory. We find some relations between isotropic pressure and energy density of the Ricci semisymmetric perfect fluid spacetimes satisfying f(R, T)-gravity equation to represent dark matter era. © 2022, Hacettepe University.
