In general, geometries of Petrov type II do not admit symmetries in terms of Killing vectors or spinors. We introduce a weaker form of Killing equations which do admit solutions. In particular, there is an analog of the Penrose-Walker…

The Petrov type D equation imposed on the 2-metric tensor and the rotation scalar of a cross-section of an isolated horizon can be used to uniquely distinguish the Kerr - (anti) de Sitter spacetime in the case the topology of the…
Many black hole spacetimes with a 3-form field exhibit a hidden symmetry encoded in a torsion generalization of the principal Killing--Yano tensor. This tensor determines basic properties of such black holes while also underlying the…
Integrable structures arise in general relativity when the spacetime possesses a pair of commuting Killing vectors admitting 2-spaces orthogonal to the group orbits. The physical interpretation of such spacetimes depends on the norm of the…
Generic black holes in vacuum-de Sitter / Anti-de Sitter spacetimes are studied in quasi-local framework, where the relevant properties are captured in the intrinsic geometry of the null surface (the horizon). Imposing the quasi-local…
