We prove that on the product of two Riemannian manifolds one of which is compact, any Killing tensor is reducible, that is, is the sum of products of Killing tensors on the factors. The same is true for the lifts to the universal cover of…

We study a Killing spinor type equation on spin Riemannian flows. We prove integrability conditions and partially classify those Riemannian flows $M$ carrying non-trivial solutions to that equation in case $M$ is a local Riemannian product,…

We introduce Riemannian Lie algebroids as a generalization of Riemannian manifolds and we show that most of the classical tools and results known in Riemannian geometry can be stated in this setting. We give also some new results on the…

We call a metric $m$-quasi-Einstein if $Ric_X^m$ (a modification of the $m$-Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor in terms of a suitable vector field $X$) is a constant multiple of the metric tensor. It is a generalization of Einstein metrics which…

We define and analyze various generalizations of the punctual Hilbert scheme of the plane, associated to complex or real Lie algebras. Out of these, we construct new geometric structures on surfaces whose moduli spaces share multiple…

We introduce a new class of Poisson structures on a Riemannian manifold. A Poisson structure in this class will be called a Killing-Poisson structure. The class of Killing-Poisson structures contains the class of symplectic structures, the…

In the context of the two dimensional sigma model, we show that classical field theory naturally defines a functor from Segal's category of Riemann surfaces to the Guillemin-Sternberg/Weinstein category of canonical relations in symplectic…

In a 5-dimensional spacetime ($M,g_{ab}$) with a Killing vector field $\xi ^a$ which is either everywhere timelike or everywhere spacelike, the collection of all trajectories of $\xi ^a$ gives a 4-dimensional space $S$. The reduction of…

Valence two Killing tensors in the Euclidean and Minkowski planes are classified under the action of the group which preserves the type of the corresponding Killing web. The classification is based on an analysis of the system of…

The Lie symmetries of the geodesic equations in a Riemannian space are computed in terms of the special projective group and its degenerates (affine vectors, homothetic vector and Killing vectors) of the metric. The Noether symmetries of…

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 generalize Killing equations to a test particle system which is subjected to external force. We relax the conservation condition by virtue of reparametrization invariance of a particle orbit. As a result, we obtain generalized Killing…
