چکیده
Using systematic calculations in spinor language, we obtain simple descriptions of the second order symmetry operators for the conformal wave equation, the Dirac-Weyl equation and the Maxwell equation on a curved four dimensional Lorentzian manifold. The conditions for existence of symmetry operators for the different equations are seen to be related. Computer algebra tools have been developed and used to systematically reduce the equations to a form which allows geometrical interpretation.

INTEGRATION OF SYSTEMS OF ODEs VIA NONLOCAL SYMMETRY-LIKE OPERATORS
We apply nonlocal symmetry-like operators to systems of two first and two second-order ordinary differential equations to seek reduction to quadratures. The reduction of order of such systems is carried out with the help of analytic continuation of scalar equations in the complex plane. Examples are taken from the literature. Precisely it is shown how the reduction to quadratures of a system of...

متن کاملSymmetry Operators and Separation of Variables for Dirac’s Equation on Two-Dimensional Spin Manifolds
A signature independent formalism is created and utilized to determine the general second-order symmetry operators for Dirac’s equation on two-dimensional Lorentzian spin manifolds. The formalism is used to characterize the orthonormal frames and metrics that permit the solution of Dirac’s equation by separation of variables in the case where a second-order symmetry operator underlies the separ...

In this paper Lie point symmetries, Hamiltonian equations and conservation laws of general three-dimensional anisotropic non-linear sourceless heat transfer equation are investigated. First of all Lie symmetries are obtained by using the general method based on invariance condition of a system of differential equations under a prolonged vector field.

متن کاملReduction Operators of Linear Second-Order Parabolic Equations
The reduction operators, i.e., the operators of nonclassical (conditional) symmetry, of (1 + 1)dimensional second order linear parabolic partial differential equations and all the possible reductions of these equations to ordinary differential ones are exhaustively described. This problem proves to be equivalent, in some sense, to solving the initial equations. The “no-go” result is extended to...
