GENERAL RELATIVITY AND GRAVITATION, cilt.29, sa.10, ss.1295-1307, 1997 (SCI-Expanded)
In this paper we study the consequences of the existence of conformal and special conformal Killing vectors (CKV, SCKV) for string cloud and string fluid in the context of general relativity. The inheritance symmetries of the string cloud and string fluid are discussed. Einstein's field equations have been solved for static spherically symmetric space-time with cloud and fluid of strings source via CKV.
