Integrability Conditions for Killing-Yano Tensors and Conformal Killing-Yano Tensors

چکیده
The integrability conditions for the existence of a conformal Killing-Yano tensor of arbitrary order are worked out in all dimensions and expressed in terms of the Weyl tensor. As a consequence, the integrability conditions for the existence of a Killing-Yano tensor are also obtained. By means of such conditions, it is shown that in certain Einstein spaces one can use a conformal Killing-Yano tensor of order p to generate a Killing-Yano tensor of order (p − 1). Finally, it is proved that in maximally symmetric spaces the covariant derivative of a Killing-Yano tensor is a closed conformal Killing-Yano tensor and that every conformal Killing-Yano tensor is uniquely decomposed as the sum of a KillingYano tensor and a closed conformal Killing-Yano tensor.

Irreducible 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 کاملQuantum Mechanics of Yano tensors: Dirac equation in curved spacetime
In spacetimes admitting Yano tensors the classical theory of the spinning particle possesses enhanced worldline supersymmetry. Quantum mechanically generators of extra supersymmetries correspond to operators that in the classical limit commute with the Dirac operator and generate conserved quantities. We show that the result is preserved in the full quantum theory, that is, Yano symmetries are ...
متن کاملKilling-yano Tensors and Nambu Tensors
We present the conditions when a Killing-Yano tensor becomes a Nambu tensor. We have shown that in the flat space case all Killing-Yano tensors are Nambu tensors. In the case of Taub-NUT metric and Kerr-Newmann metric we found that a Killing-Yano tensor of order two generate a Nambu tensor of order three. after 1st September 1999 at Institute of Space Sciences,Bucharest-Magurele, Romania e-mail...
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...
