Killing Tensors in Koutras-McIntosh Spacetimes
Steneker, Wijnand (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-15)This thesis is concerned with the (non)existence of Killing Tensors in Koutras-McIntosh spacetimes. Killing tensors are of particular interest in general relativity, because these correspond to conserved quantities for the geodesic motion. For instance, Carter found such a conserved quantity in the Kerr metric which he used to explicitly integrate the geodesic equations. The equation defining ...
