Abstract

In this article we discuss Noether conservation laws admitted by a Lagrangian of a test particle moving in the field of a general plane symmetric non-static spacetime metric. In this context, we first present a general solution representing a Noether symmetry vector subject to differential constraints satisfied by the general plane symmetric non-static metric. We then use a class of plane symmetric non-static metrics obtained by Feroze et al. and discuss, in each case, Noether conservation laws in comparison with Killing symmetries.
