Higher-dimensional lifts of Killing–Yano forms with torsion [PDF]

open access: yesClassical and Quantum Gravity, 2016
Using a Kaluza-Klein-type lift, it is shown how Killing-Yano forms with torsion can remain symmetries of a higher-dimensional geometry, subject to an algebraic condition between the Kaluza-Klein field strength and the Killing-Yano form. The lift condition's significance is highlighted, and is satisfied by examples of black holes in supergravity.

A fractional diffusion equation model for cancer tumor

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2014
In this article, we consider cancer tumor models and investigate the need for fractional order derivative as compared to the classical first order derivative in time. Three different cases of the net killing rate are taken into account including the case

Conformal Structures Associated to Generic Rank 2 Distributions on 5-Manifolds – Characterization and Killing-Field Decomposition

open access: yesSymmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2009
Given a maximally non-integrable 2-distribution D on a 5-manifold M, it was discovered by P. Nurowski that one can naturally associate a conformal structure [g]_D of signature (2,3) on M.

The pathology of embryo death caused by the male-killing Spiroplasma bacterium in Drosophila nebulosa

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2007
Background Inherited bacteria that kill male offspring, male-killers, are known to be common in insects, but little is understood about the mechanisms used by male-killing bacteria to kill males. In this paper we describe the tempo and changes that occur

Killing forms on G2 and Spin7 manifolds [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2004
Killing forms on Riemannian manifolds are differential forms whose covariant derivative is totally skew-symmetric. We show that on a compact manifold with holonomy G2 or Spin7 any Killing form has to be parallel. The main tool is a universal Weitzenboeck formula.

Spinor bilinears and Killing-Yano forms in generalized geometry [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Spinor bilinears of generalized spinors and their properties are investigated. Generalized Killing and twistor spinor equations are considered and their relations to the equations satisfied by special types of differential forms are found. Killing equation in generalized geometry is written in terms of the generalized covariant derivative and Killing ...

Invariant Prolongation of BGG-Operators in Conformal Geometry [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2008
BGG-operators form sequences of invariant differential operators and the first of these is overdetermined. Interesting equations in conformal geometry described by these operators are those for Einstein scales, conformal Killing forms and conformal Killing tensors.

Killing Forms of Isotropic Lie Algebras [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
This paper presents a method for computing the Killing form of an isotropic Lie algebra defined over an arbitrary field based on the Killing form of a subalgebra containing its anisotropic kernel. This approach allows for streamlined formulas for many Lie algebras of types E6 and E7 and yields a unified formula for all Lie algebras of inner type E6 ...

Conformal Killing $L^{2}-$forms on complete Riemannian manifolds with nonpositive curvature operator [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
We give a classification for connected complete locally irreducible Riemannian manifolds with nonpositive curvature operator, which admit a nonzero closed or co-closed conformal Killing $L^{2}-$form. Moreover, we prove vanishing theorems for closed and co-closed conformal Killing $L^{2}-$forms on some complete Riemannian manifolds.

Generalized Komar charges and Smarr formulas for black holes and boson stars

open access: yesSciPost Physics Core
The standard Komar charge is a $(d-2)$-form that can be defined in spacetimes admitting a Killing vector and which is closed when the vacuum Einstein equations are satisfied.
