| 1. | While Killing vectors are associated with manifold possessing a Killing tensor.
|
| 2. | This is technically called a time-like Killing vector.
|
| 3. | This is a generalization of a Killing vector.
|
| 4. | However, for various special forms of H, there are additional Killing vector fields.
|
| 5. | They are a special kind of spinor field related to Killing vector fields and Killing tensors.
|
| 6. | In the case that \ varphi is identically zero, X is called a Killing vector field.
|
| 7. | The time translation Killing vector generates a one-parameter group of motion G in the spacetime M.
|
| 8. | Mathematically, if k ^ a is a suitably normalized Killing vector, then the surface gravity is defined by
|
| 9. | It commutes with all holomorphic Killing vectors on the cone and in particular with all isometries of the Sasakian manifold.
|
| 10. | However, in backgrounds with light-like killing vectors, they can considerably simplify the quantization of the string action.
