Abstract
In this article, we investigate perfect fluid spacetimes equipped with concircular vector field. At first, in a perfect fluid spacetime admitting concircular vector field, we prove that the velocity vector field annihilates the conformal curvature tensor. In addition, in dimension 4, we show that a perfect fluid spacetime is a generalized Robertson-Walker spacetime with Einstein fibre. It is proved that if a perfect fluid spacetime furnished with concircular vector field admits a second order symmetric parallel tensor P, then either the equation of state of the perfect fluid spacetime is characterized by p = 3-n/n-1 sigma, or the tensor P is a constant multiple of the metric tensor. Finally, The perfect fluid spacetimes with concircular vector field whose Lorentzian metrics are Ricci soliton, gradient Ricci soliton, gradient Yamabe solitons, and gradient m -quasi Einstein solitons, are characterized.
