New symmetry in higher curvature spacetimes

General Physics 2026-04-22 v1

Abstract

New symmetries have been found in Einstein-Maxwell spacetimes. New symmetries have also been found in imperfect fluid curved spacetimes. We will prove in this paper that we can extend these symmetries to spacetimes with higher curvature terms. Higher curvature theories are in many cases associated to dark energy for instance. We provide further justification for these higher curvature formulations through the existence of a new symmetry.
