Abstract
Conformal Killing vectors (CKVs) in static plane symmetric space–times were recently studied by Saifullah and Yazdan, who concluded by remarking that static plane symmetric space–times do not admit any proper CKV except in the case where these space–times are conformally flat. We present some non-conformally flat static plane symmetric space–time metrics admitting proper CKVs. For these space–times, we also investigate a special type of CKVs, known as inheriting CKVs.
