The multi-centre metrics are a family of euclidean solutions of the empty space Einstein equations with self-dual curvature. For this full class, we determine which metrics do exhibit an extra conserved quantity quadraic in the momenta,…
We find all orthogonal metrics where the geodesic Hamilton-Jacobi equation separates and the Riemann curvature tensor satisfies a certain equation (called the diagonal curvature condition). All orthogonal metrics of constant curvature…
The separability of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation has a well-known connection to the existence of Killing vectors and rank-two Killing tensors. This paper combines this connection with the detailed knowledge of the compactification metrics…

Integrable Killing tensors are used to classify orthogonal coordinates in which the classical Hamilton-Jacobi equation can be solved by a separation of variables. We completely solve the Nijenhuis integrability conditions for Killing…
The Separation of Variables theory for the Hamilton-Jacobi equation is 'by definition' related to the use of special kinds of coordinates, for example Jacobi coordinates on the ellipsoid or St\"ackel systems in the Euclidean space. However,…
We consider a (pseudo)Riemannian manifold of arbitrary dimension. The Hamilton-Jacobi equation for geodesic Hamiltonian admits complete separation of variables for some (separable) metrics in some (separable) coordinate systems. Separable…
A generalisation of the four-dimensional Kerr-de Sitter metrics to include a NUT charge is well known, and is included within a class of metrics obtained by Plebanski. In this paper, we study a related class of Kerr-Taub-NUT-de Sitter…

We review the theory of orthogonal separation of variables of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation on spaces of constant curvature, highlighting key contributions to the theory by Benenti. This theory revolves around a special type of conformal…
Conformal Killing-Yano tensors are introduced as a generalization of Killing vectors. They describe symmetries of higher-dimensional rotating black holes. In particular, a rank-2 closed conformal Killing-Yano tensor generates the tower of…
The presence of Killing-Yano tensors implies the existence of non-generic supercharges in spinning point particle theories on curved backgrounds. Dual metrics are defined through their associated non-degenerate Killing tensors of valence…
In this paper the symmetries of the dual manifold were investigated. We found the conditions when the manifold and its dual admit the same Killing vectors and Killing-Yano tensors. In the case of an Einstein's metric $g_{\mu\nu}$ the…
This is a short pedagogical introduction to the subject of Killing-Stackel and Killing-Yano tensors and their role in the integrability of various types of equations that are of physical interest in curved spacetime, the main application…
We study concircular tensors in spaces of constant curvature and then apply the results obtained to the problem of the orthogonal separation of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation on these spaces. Any coordinates which separate the geodesic…
Using the twistor correspondence, we give a classification of toric anti-self-dual Einstein metrics: each such metric is essentially determined by an odd holomorphic function. This explains how the Einstein metrics fit into the…
Geometric separability theory of Gel'fand-Zakharevich bi-Hamiltonian systems on Riemannian manifolds is reviewed and developed. Particular attention is paid to the separability of systems generated by the so-called special conformal Killing…
It is well known that any 4-dimensional hyperkahler metric with two commuting Killing fields may be obtained explicitly, via the Gibbons-Hawking Ansatz, from a harmonic function invariant under a Killing field on R^3. In this paper, we find…
