We consider 1 spacelike Killing vector field reductions of 4-d vacuum general relativity. We restrict attention to cases in which the manifold of orbits of the Killing field is $R^{3}$. The reduced Einstein equations are equivalent to those…

We develop a new method in order to classify the Bianchi I spacetimes which admit conformal Killing vectors (CKV). The method is based on two propositions which relate the CKVs of 1+(n-1) decomposable Riemannian spaces with the CKVs of the…

The properties of some locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) perfect fluid space-times are examined in order to demonstrate the usage of the description of geometries in terms of the Riemann tensor and a finite number of its covariant…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold and $f$ a positive smooth function such that its Hamiltonian vector field $K = J\mathrm{grad}_g f$ for the K\"ahler form $\omega_g$ is a holomorphic Killing vector field. We say that the pair…

A rank $m$ symmetric tensor field on a Riemannian manifold is called a Killing field if the symmetric part of its covariant derivative is equal to zero. Such a field determines the first integral of the geodesic flow which is a degree $m$…

The objective of this paper is to deepen the study of vector fields on hyperbolic spaces $\mathbb{H}^n$ that transform them into a Ricci-Bourguignon soliton. Starting from a recent work in \cite{bousso2025ricci} which characterizes these…

In this paper we show how a gravitational field generated by a given energy-momentum distribution (for all realistic cases) can be represented by distinct geometrical structures (Lorentzian, teleparallel and non null nonmetricity…
