Abstract
In the present work we reduce the dynamics of multidimensional cosmolo gical models to the geodesics on a pseudo-Riemannian space. The signif icance of Killing vectors and tensors for the integrability problem is discussed. We also investigate geometric properties of the geodesics representing the evolution of cosmological models.
