Kamran, N.; McLenaghan, R. G. Separation of variables for higher spin, zero restmass field equations on type D vacuum backgrounds with cosmological constants. (English) Zbl 0665.35062 Gravitation and geometry, Vol. Hon. I. Robinson, Monogr. Textb. Phys. Sci. 4, 279-292 (1987). [For the entire collection see Zbl 0649.00014.] We present a single separable master equation for the maximal spin weight components of spin \(s=\pm 2,\pm 1,\pm\) zero rest-mass fields valid in the whole class of type D vacuum backgrounds with cosmological constant.
