Abstract

In this note we characterize 1+n doubly twisted spacetimes in terms of `doubly torqued' vector fields. They extend Bang-Yen Chen's characterization of twisted and generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes with torqued and concircular vector fields. The result is a simple classification of 1+n doubly-twisted, doubly-warped, twisted and generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes.
