This paper is concerned with the study of spacetimes satisfying div 𝓜 = 0, where "div" denotes the divergence and 𝓜 is the m-projective curvature tensor. We establish that a perfect fluid spacetime with div 𝓜 = 0 is a generalized Robertson-Walker spacetime and vorticity free; whereas a four-dimensional perfect fluid spacetime becomes a Robertson-Walker spacetime. Moreover, we establish that a Ricci recurrent spacetime with div 𝓜 = 0 represents a generalized Robertson-Walker spacetime.

In this paper, we studied several geometrical aspects of a perfect fluid spacetime admitting a Ricci ρ-soliton and an η-Ricci ρ-soliton. Beside this, we consider the velocity vector of the perfect fluid space time as a gradient vector and obtain some Poisson equations satisfied by the potential function of the gradient solitons.

In this paper we characterize semiconformally flat spacetimes and a spacetime with harmonic semiconformal curvature tensor. At first in a semiconformally flat perfect fluid spacetime we obtain a state equation and prove that in particular for dimension n = 4, the spacetime represents a model for incoherent radiation. Next we prove that perfect fluid spacetime with harmonic semiconformal curvature tensor is of Petrov type I, D or O and the spacetime is a GRW spacetime. As a consequence we obtain several corollaries.

The object of the present paper is to study weakly Z symmetric spacetimes $(WZS)_4$. At first we prove that a weakly Z symmetric spacetime is a quasi-Einstein spacetime and hence a perfect fluid spacetime. Next, we consider conformally flat $(WZS)_4$ spacetimes and prove that such a spacetime is infinitesimally spatially isotropic relative to the unit timelike vector field ${\rho}$. We also study $(WZS)_4$ spacetimes with divergence free conformal curvature tensor. Moreover, we characterize dust fluid and viscous fluid $(WZS)_4$ spacetimes. Finally, we construct an example of a $(WZS)_4$ spacetime.

The object of the present paper is to prove the non-existence of pseudo projective Ricci symmetric spacetimes $(PW\;RS)_4$ with different types of energy momentum tensor. We also discuss whether a fluid $(PW\;RS)_4$ spacetime with the basic vector field as the velocity vector field of the fluid can admit heat flux. Next we consider perfect fluid and dust fluid $(PW\;RS)_4$ spacetimes respectively. Finally we construct an example of a $(PW\;RS)_4$ spacetime.

The notion of quasi-Einstein manifolds arose during the study of exact solutions of the Einstein field equations as well as during considerations of quasi-umbilical hypersurfaces. For instance, the Robertson-Walker spacetimes are quasi-Einstein manifolds. The object of the present paper is to study Lorentzian quasi-Einstein manifolds. Some basic geometric properties of such a manifold are obtained. The applications of Lorentzian quasi-Einstein manifolds to the general relativity and cosmology are investigated. Theories of gravitational collapse and models of Supernova explosions [5] are based on a relativistic fluid model for the star. In the theories of galaxy formation, relativistic fluid models have been used in order to describe the evolution of perturbations of the baryon and radiation components of the cosmic medium [32]. Theories of the structure and stability of neutron stars assume that the medium can be treated as a relativistic perfectly conducting magneto fluid. Theories of relativistic stars (which would be models for supermassive stars) are also based on relativistic fluid models. The problem of accretion onto a neutron star or a black hole is usually set in the framework of relativistic fluid models. Among others it is shown that a quasi-Einstein spacetime represents perfect fluid spacetime model in cosmology and consequently such a spacetime determines the final phase in the evolution of the universe. Finally the existence of such manifolds is ensured by several examples constructed from various well known geometric structures.

The object of the present paper is to characterize generalized Ricci recurrent (GR₄) spacetimes. Among others things, it is proved that a conformally flat GR₄ spacetime is a perfect fluid spacetime. We also prove that a GR₄ spacetime with a Codazzi type Ricci tensor is a generalized Robertson Walker spacetime with Einstein fiber. We further show that in a GR₄ spacetime with constant scalar curvature the energy momentum tensor is semisymmetric. Further, we obtain several corollaries. Finally, we cite some examples which are sufficient to demonstrate that the GR₄ spacetime is non-empty and a GR₄ spacetime is not a trivial case.
