It is shown that, under certain geometric conditions, the associated vector field ρ characterizes a static space-time. Additionally, we prove that this space-time admits a matter collineation, provided that further assumptions are satisfied.</div></div><div>In this paper, we introduce and study recurrent \u0000\t\t\t\t<span><math><mrow><mi>B</mi></mrow></math></span> form manifolds, which serve as a natural generalization of weakly \u0000\t\t\t\t<span><math><mrow><mi>B</mi></mrow></math></span>-symmetric and pseudo \u0000\t\t\t\t<span><math><mrow><mi>B</mi></mrow></math></span>-symmetric manifolds.
