Abstract

Spherical symmetry for f (R)-gravity is discussed by searching for Noether symmetries. The method consists in selecting conserved quantities in form of currents that reduce dynamics of f (R)-models compatible with symmetries. In this way we get a general method to obtain constants of motion without setting a priori the form of f (R). In this sense, the Noether symmetry results a physical criterium. Relevant cases are discussed.
