Matter symmetries in general relativistic kinetic theory

Description

It is shown that a surface forming matter symmetry for collision-free general relativistic kinetic theory gives rise to an isometry on the space-time. Specific solutions are given, and it is shown that limiting the surface forming conditions to the mass subbundle does not alter the results. A possible method for solving more general cases is given.
