Some metrics admitting nonpolynomial first integrals of the geodesic equation

It is commonly known that Killing vectors and tensors are in one–to–one correspondence with polynomial first integrals of the geodesic equation. In this work, metrics admitting nonpolynomial first integrals of the geodesic equation are constructed, each of which revealing a chain of generalised Kill...

Description
Summary:It is commonly known that Killing vectors and tensors are in one–to–one correspondence with polynomial first integrals of the geodesic equation. In this work, metrics admitting nonpolynomial first integrals of the geodesic equation are constructed, each of which revealing a chain of generalised Killing vectors.
