Abstract

Killing vectors and Ricci and curvature collineations are three symmetries, which describe the underlying physics of Lorentzian geometries in general theory of relativity. In this note we show that the curvature symmetries, having finite-dimensional Lie algebra, do not provide any new understanding of spherically symmetric and static spacetimes, available already by their Killing vectors or Ricci collineations.
