Partner symmetries and non-invariant solutions of four-dimensional heavenly equations
Creators
Description
We extend our method of partner symmetries to the hyperbolic complex Monge-Ampere equation and the second heavenly equation of Plebanski. We show the existence of partner symmetries and derive the relations between them. For certain simple choices of partner symmetries the resulting differential constraints together with the original heavenly equations are transformed to systems of linear equations by an appropriate Legendre transformation. The solutions of these linear equations are generically non-invariant. As a consequence we obtain explicitly new classes of heavenly metrics without Killing vectors.
