We present a complete classification of invariant generalised Killing spinors on three-dimensional Lie groups. We show that, in this context, the existence of a non-trivial invariant generalised Killing spinor implies that all invariant…

Conformal Killing forms are a natural generalization of conformal vector fields on Riemannian manifolds. They are defined as sections in the kernel of a conformally invariant first order differential operator. We show the existence of…

A new method is presented for finding Killing tensors in spacetimes with symmetries. The method is used to find all the Killing tensors of Melvin's magnetic universe and the Schwarzschild vacuum. We show that they are all trivial. The…

From the metric and one Killing-Yano tensor of rank D-2 in any D-dimensional spacetime with such a principal Killing-Yano tensor, we show how to generate k=[(D+1)/2] Killing-Yano tensors, of rank D-2j for all j=0,...,k-1, and k rank-2…

Penrose limits are considered in space-times admitting two abelian, space-like Killing vectors in vacuum as well as in the presence of an electromagnetic field. This type of space-times describe inhomogeneous cosmologies as well as…

We introduce in this paper normal twistor equations for differential forms and study their solutions, the so-called normal conformal Killing forms. The twistor equations arise naturally from the canonical normal Cartan connection of…

We introduce Sinyukov-like tensors, a special kind of conformal Killing tensors. In Robertson-Walker space-times they have the perfect-fluid form and only depend on two constants and the scale factor. They are the candidate for the dark…

The systematic derivation of constants of the motion, based on Killing tensors and the gauge covariant approach, is outlined. Quantum dots are shown to support second-, third- and fourth-rank Killing tensors.

We initiate a systematic study of the solutions of three-dimensional matter-coupled half-maximal (N=8) supergravities which admit a Killing spinor. To this end we analyze in detail the invariant tensors built from spinor bilinears, a…

We give a spinorial characterization of isometrically immersed surfaces into 3-dimensional homogeneous manifolds with 4-dimensional isometry group in terms of the existence of a particular spinor, called generalized Killing spinor. This…

Conformal Killing equations and their integrability conditions for expanding hyperheavenly spaces with Lambda in spinorial formalism are studied. It is shown that any conformal Killing vector reduces to homothetic or isometric Killing…

We solve the Killing spinor equations of supersymmetric IIB backgrounds which admit one supersymmetry and the Killing spinor has stability subgroup G_2 in Spin(9,1) x U(1). We find that such backgrounds admit a time-like Killing vector…

We classify the supersymmetric solutions of minimal $N=2$ gauged supergravity in four dimensions with neutral signature. They are distinguished according to the sign of the cosmological constant and whether the vector field constructed as a…

Algebraic curvature tensors possess generators which can be formed from symmetric or alternating tensors S, A or tensors \theta with an irreducible (2,1)-symmetry. In differential geometry examples of curvature formulas are known which…

We discuss the pairs of quadratic integrals of motion belonging to the $n$-dimensional space of independent integrals of motion in involution, that provide integrability of the corresponding Hamiltonian equations of motion by quadratures.…

We present a brief overview of black hole spacetimes admitting Killing-Yano tensors. In vacuum these include Kerr-NUT-(A)dS metrics and certain black brane solutions. In the presence of matter fields, (conformal) Killing-Yano symmetries are…

Let (M^n,g) be a Riemannian spin manifold. The basic equations in supergravity models of type IIa string theory with 4-form flux involve a 3-form T, a 4-form F, a spinorial covariant derivative \nabla depending on \nabla^g, T, F, and a…

We present all Petrov type D pure radiation space-times, with or without cosmological constant, with a shear-free, non-diverging geodesic principal null congruence.

In this article, we describe a simple covariant characterisation of initial data sets which give rise to Petrov type D vacuum spacetime developments. As an application, we derive an integral invariant which, when restricted to the…

We consider superconformal and supersymmetric field theories on four-dimensional Lorentzian curved space-times, and their five-dimensional holographic duals. As in the Euclidean signature case, preserved supersymmetry for a superconformal…
