All the three dimensional Lorentzian metrics admitting three Killing vectors

Masato Nozawa, Kentaro Tomoda

We obtain all the three-dimensional Lorentzian metrics which admit three Killing vectors. The classification has been done with the aid of the formalism which exploits the obstruct…

Counting the number of Killing vectors in a 3D spacetime

Masato Nozawa, Kentaro Tomoda

We devise an algorithm which allows one to count the number of Killing vectors for a Lorentzian manifold of dimension 3. Our algorithm relies on the principal traces of powers of t…

A criterion for the existence of Killing vectors in 3D

Boris Kruglikov, Kentaro Tomoda

A three-dimensional Riemannian manifold has locally 6, 4, 3, 2, 1 or none independent Killing vectors. We present an explicit algorithm for computing dimension of the infinitesimal…

On integrability of the Killing equation

Tsuyoshi Houri, Kentaro Tomoda, Yukinori Yasui

Killing tensor fields have been thought of as describing hidden symmetry of space(-time) since they are in one-to-one correspondence with polynomial first integrals of geodesic equ…

Rational first integrals of geodesic equations and generalised hidden symmetries

Arata Aoki, Tsuyoshi Houri, Kentaro Tomoda

We discuss novel generalisations of Killing tensors, which are introduced by considering rational first integrals of geodesic equations. We introduce the notion of inconstructible…

Antisymmetric tensor generalizations of affine vector fields

Tsuyoshi Houri, Yoshiyuki Morisawa, Kentaro Tomoda

Tensor generalizations of affine vector fields called symmetric and antisymmetric affine tensor fields are discussed as symmetry of spacetimes. We review the properties of the symm…
