CLASSIFICATION OF CYLINDRICALLY SYMMETRIC STATIC SPACETIMES ACCORDING TO THEIR KILLING VECTOR FIELDS IN TELEPARALLEL THEORY OF GRAVITATION

In this paper we classify cylindrically symmetric static spacetimes according to their teleparallel Killing vector fields using direct integration technique. It turns out that the dimension of the teleparallel Killing vector fields are 3,4,6 or 10 which are the same in numbers as in general relativity. In case of 3,4,6 the teleparallel Killing vector fields are multiple of the corresponding Killing vector fields in general relativity by some function of r. In the case of 10 Killing vector fields the spacetime becomes Minkowski spacetime and all the torsion components are zero. The Killing vector fields in this case are exactly the same as in general relativity. Here we also discuss the Lie algebra in each case. It is important to note that this classification also covers the plane symmetric static spacetimes.
