A generalized Robertson-Walker (GRW) space-time is the generalization of the classical Robertson-Walker space-time. In the present paper, we show that a Ricci simple manifold with vanishing divergence of the conformal curvature tensor admits a proper concircular vector field and it is necessarily a GRW space-time. Further, we show that a stiff matter perfect fluid space-time or a mass-less scalar field with time-like gradient and with divergence-free Weyl tensor are GRW space-times.

Abstract
A generalized Robertson-Walker (GRW) space-time is the generalization of the classical Robertson-Walker space-time. In the present paper, we show that a Ricci simple manifold with vanishing divergence of the conformal curvature tensor admits a proper concircular vector field and it is necessarily a GRW space-time. Further, we show that a stiff matter perfect fluid space-time or a mass-less scalar field with time-like gradient and with divergence-free Weyl tensor are GRW space-times.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
