Ricci solitons on anisotropic fluid spacetime in f(R, T)-gravity

In this paper we study the behaviour of anisotropic fluid spacetimes in f ( R , T )-gravity for admitting Ricci Soliton. We obtain the form of tangential pressure of the fluid for steady, shrinking and expanding Ricci soliton when Ricci soliton vector field becomes a Killing vector field. Modified Poisson and Liouville equations are derived from the Ricci soliton equation in f ( R , T )-gravity having anisotropic fluid. Also harmonic significance of Ricci soliton on anisotropic fluid spacetime in f ( R , T )-gravity with a harmonic potential function is derived. We derive field equations for perfect fluid plane symmetric static spacetime and obtain their solutions. For each solution we then obtain Ricci soliton vector fields. We observe that such spacetimes admit expanding, shrinking or steady Ricci solitons. All the obtained solitons are trivial in nature. When these Ricci soliton vector fields become Killing vector fields then our results are in full agreement with the theorems deduced from our study.
