Holonomy groups and spacetimes

Abstract

A study is made of the possible holonomy group types of a space-time for which the energy-momentum tensor corresponds to a null or non-null electromagnetic field, a perfect fluid or a massive scalar field. The case of an Einstein space is also included. The techniques developed are also applied to vacuum and conformally flat space-times and contrasted with already known results in these two cases. Examples are given.
