In this paper some algebraic and geometrical properties of symmetries (taken here as Lie algebras of smooth Killing vector fields) on a 4??dimensional manifold of arbitrary signature will be described. The discussion will include the theory of the distributions arising from such vector fields, their resulting orbit and isotropy structure and certain stability properties which these orbits may, or may not, possess. A link between the isotropies and the restrictions on the fundamental tensors of Ricci and Weyl (in terms of the subalgebras of the Lie algebras o(4), o(1,3) and o(2,2)) will be briefly discussed.

Izumi and Kazanari [2], has calculated and defined on infinitesimal holomorphically projective transformations in compact Kaehlerian manifolds. Also, Malave Guzman [3], has been studied transformations holomorphic ammeters projective equivalentes. After that, Negi [5], have studied and considered some problems concerning Pseudo-analytic vectors on Pseudo-Kaehlerian Manifolds. Again, Negi, et. al. [6],has defined and obtained an analytic HP-transformation in almost Kaehlerian spaces. In this paper we have measured and calculated a Kahlerian manifolds related in H-projective recurrent curvature killing vector fields with vectorial fields and their holomorphic propertiesEinsteinian and the constant curvature manifoldsare established.Kaehlerian holomorphically projective recurrent curvature manifolds with almost complex structures by using the geometrical properties of the harmonic and scalar curvatures calculated overkilling vectorial fieldsare obtained

This chapter introduces tensor fields, covariant derivatives and the geodesic equation on a (pseudo-) Riemannian manifold. It discusses how symmetries of a general space-time can be found from the Killing equation, and how the existence of Killing vector fields is connected to global conservation laws.

Definition Of

We report off-shell Noether currents obtained from off-shell Noether potentials for first-order general relativity described by n-dimensional Palatini and Holst Lagrangians including the cosmological constant. These off-shell currents and potentials are achieved by using the corresponding Lagrangian and the off-shell Noether identities satisfied by diffeomorphisms generated by arbitrary vector fields, local SO(n) or SO(n−1,1) transformations, ‘improved diffeomorphisms’, and the ‘generalization of local translations’ of the orthonormal frame and the connection. A remarkable aspect of our approach is that we do not use Noether’s theorem in its direct form. By construction, the currents are off-shell conserved and lead naturally to the definition of off-shell Noether charges. We also study what we call the ‘half off-shell’ case for both Palatini and Holst Lagrangians. In particular, we find that the resulting diffeomorphism and local SO(3,1) or SO(4) off-shell Noether currents and potentials for the Holst Lagrangian generically depend on the Immirzi parameter, which holds even in the ‘half off-shell’ and on-shell cases. We also study Killing vector fields in the ‘half off-shell’ and on-shell cases. The current theoretical framework is illustrated for the ‘half off-shell’ case in static spherically symmetric and Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker spacetimes in four dimensions.

Geometric Objects

Motivated by the hindrance of defining metric tensors compatible with the underlying spinor structure, other than the ones obtained via a conformal transformation, we study how some geometric objects are affected by the action of a disformal transformation in the closest scenario possible: the disformal transformation in the direction of a null-like vector field. Subsequently, we analyze symmetry properties such as mutual geodesics and mutual Killing vectors, generalized Weyl transformations that leave the disformal relation invariant, and introduce the concept of disformal Killing vector fields. In most cases, we use the Schwarzschild metric, in the Kerr–Schild formulation, to verify our calculations and results. We also revisit the disformal operator using a Newman–Penrose basis to show that, in the null-like case, this operator is not diagonalizable.

Proper Curvature

A study of nonstatic spherically symmetric space–times according to their proper curvature collineations is given by using the rank of the 6×6 Riemann matrix and direct integration techniques. Studying proper curvature collineations in each case of the above space–times it is shown that when the above space–times admit proper curvature collineations, they turn out to be static spherically symmetric and form an infinite dimensional vector space. In the nonstatic cases curvature collineations are just Killing vector fields.

In this work we consider the three-dimensional generalized symmetric space, equipped with the left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric. We determine Killing vector fields and affine vectors fields. Also we obtain a full classification of Ricci, curvature and matter collineations
