Abstract

In this paper, we present a study of proper conformal vector fields of spatially homogeneous rotating space-times in the f(R) theory of gravity. A total of six cases have been discussed in detail. It is found that the conformally non-flat spatially homogeneous rotating space-times do not admit proper conformal vector fields, while in a conformally flat case the space-time admits 15 independent conformal vector fields.
