Abstract

The Bianchi V spacetimes with perfect-fluid matter are classified according to their Ricci collineations. We have found that in the degenerate case there are infinitely many Ricci collineations whereas a subcase gives a finite number of Ricci collineations which are five. In the non-degenerate case the group of Ricci collineations is finite, i.e. four or five or six or seven. Also, all results obtained satisfy the energy conditions.
