Description

Hidden symmetries corresponding to Killing tensors are a notable feature of known rotating black hole solutions in supergravity. I will discuss the presence of these symmetries in general, non-extremal black holes of maximal supergravities in diverse dimensions, their relation to commuting symmetry operators, and other physical consequences.
