We consider the equivalence problem of four-dimensional semi-Riemannian metrics with the $2$-dimensional Abelian Killing algebra. In the generic case we determine a semi-invariant frame and a fundamental set of first-order scalar…

Curvature properties of a metric connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion are investigated. It is shown that if either the 3-form $T$ is harmonic, $dT=\delta T=0$ or the curvature of the torsion connection $R\in S^2\Lambda^2$ then the…

According to [8] if the stationary Schroedinger equation on n-dim. Riemann space admits R-separation of variables (i.e. separation of variables with a factor R), then the underlying metric is necessarily isothermic. An important sub-class…

We establish a deformation framework for highly symmetric solutions to the Einstein equations. In this framework, four-dimensional metrics are constructed from three-dimensional {\eta}-Einstein metrics admitting a deformation determined by…

It is known that the Maxwell theory in $D$ dimensions can be written in a first order form (in derivatives) by introducing a totally antisymmetric field which leads to a $(D-3)$-form dual theory. Remarkably, one can replace the…

We study some symmetry and integrability properties of four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell gravity with nonvanishing cosmological constant in the presence of Killing vectors. First of all, we consider stationary spacetimes, which lead, after…

This paper locally classifies finite-dimensional Lie algebras of conformal and Killing vector fields on $\mathbb{R}^2$ relative to an arbitrary pseudo-Riemannian metric. Several results about their geometric properties are detailed, e.g.…

We show that the Euclidean Kerr-NUT-(A)dS metric in $2m$ dimensions locally admits $2^m$ hermitian complex structures. These are derived from the existence of a non-degenerate closed conformal Killing-Yano tensor with distinct eigenvalues.…

We classify complete gradient Ricci solitons satisfying a fourth-order vanishing condition on the Weyl tensor, improving previously known results. More precisely, we show that any $n$-dimensional ($n\geq 4$) gradient shrinking Ricci soliton…

Godel-type metrics are introduced and used in producing charged dust solutions in various dimensions. The key ingredient is a (D-1)-dimensional Riemannian geometry which is then employed in constructing solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell…

Considering a spacetime foliated by co-dimension-2 hypersurfaces, we find the conditions under which lower-dimensional symmetries of a base space can be lifted up to irreducible Killing tensors of the full spacetime. In this construction,…

We determine the local structure of all pseudo-Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$ in dimensions $n\ge4$ whose Weyl conformal tensor $W$ is parallel and has rank 1 when treated as an operator acting on exterior 2-forms at each point. If one fixes…

All the causally regular geometries obtained from (2+1)-anti-de Sitter space by identifications by isometries of the form $P \rightarrow (\exp \pi\xi) P$, where $\xi$ is a self-dual Killing vector of $so(2,2)$, are explicitely constructed.…

Using twistor methods, we explicitly construct all local forms of four--dimensional real analytic neutral signature anti--self--dual conformal structures $(M,[g])$ with a null conformal Killing vector. We show that $M$ is foliated by…

We derive a superpotential for null electromagnetic fields in which the field line structure is in the form of an arbitrary torus knot. These fields are shown to correspond to single copies of a class of anti-self-dual Kerr-Schild…

We show that a class of solutions of minimal supergravity in five dimensions is given by lifts of three--dimensional Einstein--Weyl structures of hyper-CR type. We characterise this class as most general near--horizon limits of…

In the standard derivation of the Kerr-Schild double copy, the geodicity of the Kerr-Schild vector and the stationarity of the spacetime are presented as assumptions that are necessary for the single copy to satisfy Maxwell's equations.…
