Abstract
Group theoretical properties of certain nonlinear partial differential equations playing a distinguished role in the gravitational instanton theory and in complex relativity are studied. It is demonstrated that, in general, the groups of contact transformations admitted by these equations appear to be the first prolongations of appropriate point transformation groups. An exceptional case leading to the Gibbons–Hawking metric is examined in detail.
