We investigate special Killing vector fields on 3-dimensional Riemannian manifolds of biwarped product-type. Starting from a diagonal metric on $\mathbb R^3$ determined by two nontrivial warping functions and a constant scaling factor, we…

We introduce a new construction of bilinear invariant forms on Lie algebras, based on the method of graded contractions. The general method is described and the $\Bbb Z_2$-, $\Bbb Z_3$-, and $\Bbb Z_2\otimes\Bbb Z_2$-contractions are found.…
We construct special solutions of the Nambu-Goto equations for stationary strings in a general Kerr-NUT-(A)dS spacetime in any number of dimensions. This construction is based on the existence of explicit and hidden symmetries generated by…
We discuss constants of motion of a particle under an external field in a curved spacetime, taking into account the Hamiltonian constraint which arises from reparametrization invariance of the particle orbit. As the necessary and sufficient…
This paper is concerned with deformations of Kundt metrics in the direction of type $III$ tensors and nil-Killing vector fields whose flows give rise to such deformations. We find various characterizations within the Kundt class in terms of…

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…
An irreducible canonical approach to second-order reducible second-class constraints is given. The procedure is exemplified on gauge-fixed three-forms.
The paper studies non-Lie symmetry of the Klein-Gordon-Fock equation (KGF) in $(p+q)$-dimensional Minkowsky space. Full set of symmetry operators for the $n$-order KGF equation was explicitly calculated for arbitrary $n<\infty$ and $p+q…
The existence of Killing-Yano tensors on space-times can be probed by spinning particles. Specifically, Dirac particles possess new fermionic constants of motion corresponding to non-standard supersymmetries on the particle worldline. A…
We put into light the Killing vector fields on $\mathbb R^2$ endowed with a family of diagonal Riemannian metrics. According to certain restrictions on the Lam\'{e} coefficients, we concretely describe the symmetries of the metric.
Methods of construction of the composition function, left- and right-invariant vector fields and differential 1-forms of a Lie group from the structure constants of the associated Lie algebra are proposed. It is shown that in the second…
The Newman-Penrose equations for spacetimes having one spacelike Killing vector are reduced -- in a geometrically defined "canonical frame'' -- to a minimal set, and its differential structure is studied. Expressions for the frame vectors…
