Dual Killing-Yano symmetry and multipole moments in electromagnetism and mechanics of continua
In this work we introduce the Killing-Yano symmetry on the phase space and we
investigate the symplectic structure on the space of Killing-Yano tensors. We
perform the detailed analyze of the -dimensional flat space and the
Riemaniann manifolds with constant scalar curvature. We investigate the form of
some multipole tensors, which arise in the expansion of a system of charges and
currents, in terms of second-order Killing-Yano tensors in the phase space of
classical mechanics.
We find some relations between these tensors and the generators of dynamical
symmetries like the angular momentum, the mass-inertia tensor, the conformal
operator and the momentum conjugate Runge-Lenz vector.Comment: 11 pages LaTeX, no figures, content enlarged and revised, accepted

Toroidal quadrupole transitions associated to collective rotational-vibrational motions of the nucleus
In the frame of the algebraic Riemann Rotational Model one computes the
longitudinal, transverse and toroidal multipoles corresponding to the
excitations of low-lying levels in the ground state band of several even-even
nuclei by inelastic electron scattering (e,e'). Related to these transitions a
new quantity, which accounts for the deviations from the Siegert theorem, is
introduced. The intimate connection between the nuclear vorticity and the
dynamic toroidal quadrupole moment is underlined. Inelastic differential
cross-sections calculated at backscattering angles shows the dominancy of
toroidal form-factors over a broad range of momentum transfer.Comment: 11 pages in LaTex, 3 figures available by fax or mail, accepted for
