Abstract

This research explores the Ricci Inheritance Collineations (RICs) within cylindrically symmetric Marder type spacetimes. We categorize these spacetimes based on their RICs, examining both degenerate and non-degenerate Ricci tensor configurations. Through solving a system of coupled partial differential equations across thirteen distinct scenarios, we provide a thorough examination of inheritance symmetries. Our findings demonstrate the existence of infinite dimensional RICs in multiple cases, offering valuable insights into the geometric and physical characteristics of these spacetimes.
