    Stability of determining a Dirichlet–Laplace–Beltrami operator from its boundary spectral data

    We establish stability inequalities for the problem of determining a Dirichlet–Laplace–Beltrami operator from its boundary spectral data. We study the case of complete spectral data as well as the case of partial spectral data.

    Concircular vector fields on Lorentzian manifold of Bianchi type-I spacetimes

    Our aim in this paper is to obtain concircular vector fields (CVFs) on the Lorentzian manifold of Bianchi type-I spacetimes. For this purpose, two different sets of coupled partial differential equations comprising ten equations each are obtained. The first ten equations, known as conformal Killing equations are solved completely and components of conformal Killing vector fields (CKVFs) are obtained in different possible cases. These CKVFs are then substituted into second set of ten differential equations to obtain CVFs. It comes out that Bianchi type-I spacetimes admit four-, five-, six-, seven- or 15-dimensional CVFs for particular choices of the metric functions. In many cases, the CKVFs of a particular metric are same as CVFs while there exists few cases where proper CKVFs are not CVFs.

    Concircular vector fields and the Ricci solitons for the LRS Bianchi type-V spacetimes

    The purpose of this paper is to explore concircular vector fields (CVFs) of locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type-V spacetimes and to investigate whether these CVFs are Ricci soliton vector fields. We first obtained the concircular equations and then solved them by integrating directly. The existence of concircular symmetry imposes restrictions on the metric functions. It is shown that Bianchi type-V spacetimes admit four-, five-, six-, seven-, eight- or fifteen-dimensional CVFs. Further, we studied the Ricci soliton vector fields for all the cases where Bianchi type-V spacetimes admit CVFs. For this purpose, the obtained CVFs are substituted into Ricci soliton equations. These equations imposed further restrictions on metric functions and it is shown in each case that either all or some CVFs are also Ricci soliton vector fields. The gradient of Ricci soliton vector fields are also obtained. It is shown that the metrics that admit CVFs represent physically plausible perfect fluid models under certain conditions.

    Conformal vector fields of Bianchi type-I spacetimes

    This paper aims to investigate Conformal Vector Fields (CVFs) of Bianchi type-I spacetimes. A set of 10-coupled Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) is obtained from the conformal Killing equations. These equations are solved by using direct integration techniques to explore the components of CVFs. Utilizing these components, we get a system of three integrability conditions. Finally, we achieve CVFs along with conformal factors for unique possibilities of unknown metric functions from the solution of these conditions. From our results, it is examined that Bianchi type-I spacetimes admit five or fifteen CVFs for specific choices of metric functions.

    Concircular vector fields for Kantowski–Sachs and Bianchi type-III spacetimes

    This paper intends to obtain concircular vector fields (CVFs) of Kantowski–Sachs and Bianch type-III spacetimes. For this purpose, ten conformal Killing equations and their general solution in the form of conformal Killing vector fields (CKVFs) are derived along with their conformal factors. The obtained conformal Killing vector fields are then placed in Hessian equations to obtain the final form of concircular vector fields. The existence of concircular symmetry imposes restrictions on the metric functions. The conditions imposing restrictions on these metric functions are obtained as a set of integrability conditions. It is shown that Kantowski–Sachs and Bianchi type-III spacetimes admit four-, six-, or fifteen-dimensional concircular vector fields. It is established that for Einstein spaces, every conformal Killing vector field is a concircular vector field. Moreover, it is explored that every concircular vector field obtained here is also a conformal Ricci collineation.
