The conditions for the existence of Killing-Yano tensors, which are closely related to the appearance of non-generic world-line SUSY, are presented for static axisymmetric spacetimes. Imposing the vacuum Einstein equation, the set of…

The peculiarities of rotating frames of reference played an important role in the genesis of general relativity. Considering them, Einstein became convinced that coordinates have a different status in the general theory of relativity than…
The paper considers Euler-Poisson equations which govern the steady state of a self gravitating, rotating, axi-symmetric stars under the additional assumption that it is composed of incompressible stratified fluid. The original system of…
