Symmetry analysis of the charged squashed Kaluza-Klein black hole metric

In this research article, a complete analysis of symmetries and conservation laws for the charged squashed Kaluza-Klein black hole space-time in a Riemannian space is discussed. First, a comprehensive group analysis of the underlying space-time metric using Lie point symmetries is presented, and then the n-dimensional optimal system of this space-time metric, for n = 1,...,4, are computed. It is shown that there is no any n-dimensional optimal system of Lie symmetry subalgebra associated to the system of geodesic for n5. Then the point symmetries of the one-parameter Lie groups of transformations that leave invariant the action integral corresponding to the Lagrangian that means Noether symmetries are found, and then the conservation laws associated to the system of geodesic equations are calculated via Noether's theorem.
