All Killing symmetries in complex $\mathcal{H}$-spaces with $\Lambda$ in terms of the Pleba\'nski - Robinson - Finley coordinate system are found. All $\mathcal{H}$-metrics with $\Lambda$ admitting a null Killing vector are explicitly…
We introduce the concept of bi-conformal transformation, as a generalization of conformal ones, by allowing two orthogonal parts of a manifold with metric $\G$ to be scaled by different conformal factors. In particular, we study their…
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,…
Considered is the problem of local equivalence of generic four-dimensional metrics possessing two commuting and orthogonally transitive Killing vector fields. A sufficient set of eight differential invariants is explicitly constructed,…
We put into light the Killing vector fields on $\mathbb R^2$ endowed with a family of diagonal Riemannian metrics. According to certain restrictions on the Lam\'{e} coefficients, we concretely describe the symmetries of the metric.
The constraint equations in Maxwell theory are investigated. In analogy with some recent results on the constraints of general relativity it is shown, regardless of the signature and dimension of the ambient space, that the "divergence of a…
The convergence of polyhomogeneous expansions of zero-rest-mass fields in asymptotically flat spacetimes is discussed. An existence proof for the asymptotic characteristic initial value problem for a zero-rest-mass field with…
Killing vector fields in three dimensions play important role in the construction of the related spacetime geometry. In this work we show that when a three dimensional geometry admits a Killing vector field then the Ricci tensor of the…
We prove an intrinsic analogue of Hawking's rigidity theorem for extremal horizons in arbitrary dimensions: any compact cross-section of a rotating extremal horizon in a spacetime satisfying the null energy condition must admit a Killing…
It is expected that black holes are formed dynamically under the gravitational collapses and approach to the stationary states. In this paper, we show that the asymptotic Killing vector at late time should exist on the horizon and then that…
In this short note, we verify explicitly in static coordinates that the non trivial asymptotic Killing vectors at spatial infinity for anti-de Sitter space-times correspond one to one to the conformal Killing vectors of the conformally flat…
We introduce several sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of the Milnor vector field for new classes of singularities of map germs. This special vector field is related with the equivalence problem of the Milnor fibrations for…
We show that for hypersurface orthogonal Killing vectors, the corresponding Chevreton superenergy currents will be conserved and proportional to the Killing vectors. This holds for four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell spacetimes with an…
The harmonic action functional allows a natural generalisation to semi-Riemannian supergeometry, referred to as superharmonic action, which resembles the supersymmetric sigma models studied in high energy physics. We show that Killing…
Self-similar spacetimes are of importance to cosmology and to gravitational collapse problems. We show that self-similarity or the existence of a homothetic Killing vector field for spherically symmetric spacetimes implies the separability…
We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for an initial data set for the vacuum conformal Einstein field equations to give rise to a spacetime development in possession of a Killing spinor. The fact that the conformal Einstein field…
It is known that a Killing field on a compact pseudo-K\"ahler manifold is necessarily (real) holomorphic, as long as the manifold satisfies some relatively mild additional conditions. We provide two further proofs of this fact and discuss…
In this paper, the Killing vector will be constructed for the $R$-spacetime metric. The symmetry transformations corresponding to this vectors are obtained explicitly. Their coincidence with the transformations of the Poincar\'e group in a…
We consider an action that can generate fluids with three unequal stresses for metrics with a spacelike Killing vector. The parameters in the action are directly related to the stress anisotropies. The field equations following from the…
The invariant theory of Killing tensors (ITKT) is extended by introducing the new concepts of covariants and joint invariants of (product) vector spaces of Killing tensors defined in pseudo-Riemannian spaces of constant curvature. The…
