In this article, I discuss the construction of some globally conserved currents that one can construct in the absence of a Killing vector. One is based on the Komar current, which is constructed from an arbitrary vector field and has an…
We propose a natural family of higher-order partial differential equations generalizing the second-order Klein-Gordon equation. We characterize the associated model by means of a generalized action for a scalar field, containing…
For locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) spacetimes, we construct two equivalent forms of the Komar current derived from a conformal Killing vector. One is a kinematic construction and the other is in terms of the matter quantities on the…
We find a relation between the ADM mass and a generalized Komar energy in asymptotically-flat spacetime. We do not need to assume the existence of either a Killing or even asymptotically-Killing vector field. Instead, our generalized Komar…
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 present a method for calculating the results of operation of differential operators operating on components of vector in generalized coordinates not restricted to orthogonal one. For this we use the relationships between covariant,…
We find the conserved current associated to invariance under generalised diffeomorphisms in double field theory. This can be used to define a generalised Komar integral. We comment on its applications to solutions, in particular to the…
Koutras has proposed some methods to construct reducible proper conformal Killing tensors and Killing tensors (which are, in general, irreducible) when a pair of orthogonal conformal Killing vectors exist in a given space. We give the…
We apply the finite-element lattice equations of motion for quantum electrodynamics given in the first paper in this series to examine anomalies in the current operators. By taking explicit lattice divergences of the vector and axial-vector…
Killing vector fields $K$ are defined on Finsler manifold. The Killing symmetry is reformulated simply as $\delta K^\flat =0$ by using the Killing non-linear 1-form $K^\flat$ and the spray operator $\delta$ with the Finsler non-linear…
It has been shown that for each Killing-Yano (KY)-form accepted by an $n$-dimensional (pseudo)Riemannian manifold of arbitrary signature, two basic gravitational currents can be defined. Conservation of the currents are explicitly proved by…
In the generalized Schwinger model the vector and axial vector currents are linearly coupled, with arbitrary coefficients, to the gauge connection. Therefore it represents an interesting example of a theory where both gauge anomalies and…
A notion of geometric symmetry is introduced that generalizes the classical concepts of Killing fields and other affine collineations. There is a sense in which flows under these new vector fields minimize deformations of the connection…
Some years ago Koutras presented a method of constructing a conformal Killing tensor from a pair of orthogonal conformal Killing vectors. When the vector associated with the conformal Killing tensor is a gradient, a Killing tensor (in…
We construct a conformally invariant vector bundle connection such that its equation of parallel transport is a first order system that gives a prolongation of the conformal Killing equation on differential forms. Parallel sections of this…
We consider Killing vector fields on standard static space-times and obtain equations for a vector field on a standard static space-time to be Killing. We also provide a characterization of Killing vector fields on standard static…
When spacetime torsion is present, geodesics and autoparallels generically do not coincide. In this work, the well-known method that uses Killing vectors to solve the geodesic equations is generalized for autoparallels. The main definition…
We construct a set of higher-form conserved currents on spacetimes admitting conformal Killing-Yano tensors. We find relations between these currents that allow the charge given by integrating one of these currents over a region to be…
The purpose of this paper is to enhance the conventional Komar integral to asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes. In order to do so, we first obtain a potential that is the linear combination of the usual Komar potential with two…
Some basic theorems on Killing vector fields are reviewed. In particular, the topic of a constant-curvature space is examined. A detailed proof is given for a theorem describing the most general form of the metric of a homogeneous isotropic…
