Abstract

The object of the present paper is to study a spacetime admitting conharmonic curvature tensor and some geometric properties related to this spacetime. It is shown that in a conharmonically flat spacetime with cyclic parallel Ricci tensor, the energy–momentum tensor is cyclic parallel and conversely. Finally, we prove that for a radiative perfect fluid spacetime if the energy–momentum tensor satisfying the Einstein’s equations without cosmological constant is generalized recurrent, then the fluid has vanishing vorticity and the integral curves of the vector field [Formula: see text] are geodesics.
