Killing-yano Tensors

By using the concept of isometry Killing vectors were introduced. Generalizing the
Killing vectors Killing tensors of rank two were briefly introduced. Their metrical
properties have been dealt.With this path Killing &ndash / Yano tensors were introduced as
being some hidden space-time symmetries and also square roots of Killing tensors of
rank two. Also physical importance of Killing &ndash / Yano tensors were briefly
introduced. A calculation for 4D pp-wave metric is reviewed. Standart 5-D Kaluza-
Klein theory is rewieved in an anholonomic base. 5- D Killing &ndash / Yano equations are
written in this base. Simplified forms of these equations are given and the necessary
conditions on the EM field tensor and the KY tensor are presented
