In this paper we utilize symmetries in order to exhibit exact solutions to Einstein's equation of a perfect fluid on a static manifold all of whose spatial factor belongs to the conformal class of a Riemannian space of constant curvature.
Einstein's equations of General Relativity form a highly nonlinear system, so most exact solutions rely on symmetry assumptions. Spherically symmetric spacetimes have been particularly important, providing a tractable yet physically rich…
