Abstract

In an earlier paper (see Nuovo Cimento B, 19 (2004) 1187) it was conjectured that none of the well-known spherically symmetric static space-time solutions of the Einstein equations admit non-trivial Ricci inheritance symmetry. In this paper we discuss Ricci inheritance (RI) symmetry in three well-known nonstatic spherically symmetric space-time metrics and show that our conjecture is also valid in non-static space-time metrics.
