چکیده
Axisymmetric spacetimes with a conformal symmetry are studied and it is shown that, if there is no further conformal symmetry, the axial Killing vector and the conformal Killing vector must commute. As a direct consequence, in con-formally stationary and axisymmetric spacetimes, no restriction is made by assuming that the axial symmetry and the conformal timelike symmetry commute. Furthermore, we prove that in axisymmetric spacetimes with another symmetry (such as stationary and axisymmetric or cylindrically symmetric spacetimes) and a conformal symmetry, the commutator of the axial Killing vector with the two others mush vanish or else the symmetry is larger than that originally considered. The results are completely general and do not depend on Einstein's equations or any particular matter content.

We study the structure of the phase space of generic models of deformed special relativity which gives rise to a definition of velocity consistent with the deformed Lorentz symmetry. As a byproduct we also determine the laws of transformation of spacetime coordinates.

We provide a Hamiltonian analysis of the Mixmaster Universe dynamics on the base of a standard Arnowitt-Deser-Misner Hamiltonian approach, showing the covariant nature of its chaotic behaviour with respect to the choice of any time variable, from the point of view either of the dynamical systems theory, either of the statistical mechanics one.

Using two dimensional (2D) N = 4 sigma model, with U(1) gauge symmetry, and introducing the ADE Cartan matrices as gauge matrix charges, we build ” toric” hyperKahler eight real dimensional manifolds X8. Dividing by one toric geometry circle action of X8 manifolds, we present examples describing quotients X7 = X8 U(1) of G2 holonomy. In particular, for the Ar Cartan matrix, the quotient space i...

A complete and explicit classification of all locally constructed conserved currents and underlying conserved tensors is obtained for massless linear symmetric spinor fields of any spin s > 0 in four dimensional flat spacetime. These results generalize the recent classification in the spin s = 1 case of all conserved currents locally constructed from the electromagnetic spinor field. The presen...

We give a Hamiltonian definition of mass for spacelike hypersurfaces in space-times with metrics which are asymptotic to the anti-de Sitter one, or to a class of generalizations thereof. We show that our definition provides a geometric invariant for a spacelike hypersurface embedded in a space-time.
