Killing-Yano tensors are natural generalizations of Killing vectors to arbitrary rank anti-symmetric tensor fields. It was recently shown that Killing-Yano tensors lead to conserved gravitational charges, called Y-ADM charges. These new…
We present the conditions when a Killing-Yano tensor becomes a Nambu tensor. We have shown that in the flat space case all Killing-Yano tensors are Nambu tensors. In the case of Taub-NUT metric and Kerr-Newmann metric we found that a…

Killing-Yano one forms (duals of Killing vector fields) of a class of spherically symmetric space-times characterized by four functions are derived in a unified and exhaustive way. For well-known space-times such as those of Minkowski,…
We present the properties of new Dirac-type operators generated by real or complex-valued special Killing-Yano tensors that are covariantly constant and represent roots of the metric tensor. In the real case these are just the so called…

Assuming the existence of a single rank-2 closed conformal Killing-Yano tensor with a certain symmetry we show that there exist mutually commuting rank-2 Killing tensors and Killing vectors. We also discuss the condition of separation of…
It is believed that in any number of dimensions the off-shell Kerr-NUT-(A)dS metric represents a unique geometry admitting the principal (rank 2, non-degenerate, closed conformal Killing-Yano) tensor. The original proof relied on the…
Using Killing-Yano symmetries, we construct conserved charges of spacetimes that asymptotically approach to the flat or Anti-de Sitter spaces only in certain directions. In D dimensions, this allows one to define gravitational charges (such…
The Dirac equation for the electron around a five-dimensional rotating black hole with two different angular momenta is separated into purely radial and purely angular equations. The general solution is expressed as a superposition of…
This paper contains a brief review of the remarkable properties of higher dimensional rotating black holes with the spherical topology of the horizon. We demonstrate that these properties are connected with and generated by a special…
We consider geometric and supergravity Killing spinors and the spinor bilinears constructed out of them. The spinor bilinears of geometric Killing spinors correspond to the antisymmetric generalizations of Killing vector fields which are…
We show that spacetime symmetries on any background give rise to stealth vector fields obeying Proca-type equations supplemented by curvature terms. This observation, which is true for solutions of any theory of gravity and with arbitrary…
In this paper the symmetries of the dual manifold were investigated. We found the conditions when the manifold and its dual admit the same Killing vectors and Killing-Yano tensors. In the case of an Einstein's metric $g_{\mu\nu}$ the…
Symmetric conformal Killing tensors and (skew-symmetric) conformal Yano-Killing tensors for Euclidean Taub-NUT metric are given in explicit form. Relations between Yano and CYK tensors in terms of conformal rescaling are discussed.
The Killing tensors of arbitrary rank on complex projective space with its Fubini-Study metric are determined and it is shown that these spaces are generated by the Killing fields.
In the framework of the General Relativity we show that from three generalizations of Killing vector fields, namely f-symbols, symmetric St\"{a}ckel-Killing and antisymmetric Killing-Yano tensors, some conserved currents can be obtained…
We explore various aspects of the self-dual Pleba\'nski-Demia\'nski family in the Euclidean Einstein-Maxwell-$\Lambda$ system. The Killing-Yano tensor which was recently found by Yasui and one of the present authors allows us to prove that…
