Lax Tensors, Killing Tensors and Geometric Duality [PDF]
The solution of the Lax tensor equations in the case $L_{\alpha\beta\gamma}=-L_{\beta\alpha\gamma}$ was analyzed. The Lax tensors on the dual metrics were investigated. We classified all two dimensional metrics having the symmetric Lax tensor $L_{\alpha\beta\gamma}$. The Lax tensors of the flat space, Rindler system and its dual were found.
