Abstract: The purpose of the article is to investigate the existence of Ricci solitons and the nature of curvature inheritance as well as collineations on the Robinson-Trautman (briefly, RT) spacetime. It is shown that under certain conditions RT spacetime admits almost Ricci soliton, almost -Ricci soliton, almost gradient -Ricci soliton. As a generalization of curvature inheritance cite{Duggal1992} and curvature collineation cite{KLD1969}, in this paper, we introduce the notion of extit{generalized curvature inheritance} and examine if RT spacetime admits such a notion. It is shown that RT spacetime also realizes the generalized curvature (resp. Ricci, Weyl conformal, concircular, conharmonic, Weyl projective) inheritance. Finally, several conditions are obtained, under which RT spacetime possesses curvature (resp. Ricci, conharmonic, Weyl projective) inheritance as well as curvature (resp. Ricci, Weyl conformal, concircular, conharmonic, Weyl projective) collineation.
