Abstract

So called lambda-symmetries were introduced by Muriel and Romero, and geometrically characterized by Pucci and Saccomandi [8, 12], in the ODE case. We extend them to the PDE framework. In this context the central object is a horizontal one-form mu, and we speak of mu-prolongations of vector fields and mu-symmetries of PDEs. The latter are as good as standard symmetries in providing symmetry reduction of PDEs (or systems thereof) and explicit invariant solutions.
