چکیده
Quadratic Lagrangians are obtained by adding surface terms involving the angular momentum to a free particle Lagrangian. Killing–Yano tensors corresponding to the manifold structure induced by the quadratic Lagrangians were calculated and the associated non-generic symmetries were presented.

Dual Killing-Yano symmetry and multipole moments in electromagnetism and mechanics of continua
In this work we introduce the Killing-Yano symmetry on the phase space and we investigate the symplectic structure on the space of Killing-Yano tensors. We perform the detailed analyze of the ndimensional flat space and the Riemaniann manifolds with constant scalar curvature. We investigate the form of some multipole tensors, which arise in the expansion of a system of charges and currents, in ...
متن کاملSymmetry aspects of multipole moments in electromagnetism and mechanics of continua
In this paper we investigate the form of some multipole tensors, which arise in the expansion of a system of charges and currents, in terms of second-order Killing-Yano tensors in the phase space of classical mechanics. We related some of these tensors to the generators of dynamical symmetries like the angular momentum, the mass-inertia tensor, the conformal operator and the momentum conjugate ...
متن کاملIrreducible Killing Tensors from Third Rank Killing-Yano Tensors
We investigate higher rank Killing-Yano tensors showing that third rank Killing-Yano tensors are not always trivial objects being possible to construct irreducible Killing tensors from them. We give as an example the Kimura IIC metric were from two rank Killing-Yano tensors we obtain a reducible Killing tensor and from third rank Killing-Yano tensors we obtain three Killing tensors, one reducib...
متن کاملKilling-yano Tensors and Nambu Mechanics
Killing-Yano tensors was introduced in 1952 by Kentaro-Yano from mathematically point of view.The physical interpretation of KillingYano tensors of rang higher than two was unclear. We found the conditions when a Killing-Yano tensor becomes a Nambu tensor. We found that in flat space case all the Killing-Yano tensors are Nambu tensors.

متن کاملDo Killing-Yano tensors form a Lie algebra?
Killing-Yano tensors are natural generalizations of Killing vectors. We investigate whether Killing-Yano tensors form a graded Lie algebra with respect to the Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket. We find that this proposition does not hold in general, but that it does hold for constant curvature spacetimes. We also show that Minkowski and (anti)-deSitter spacetimes have the maximal number of Killing-Yan...
