Garfinkle, David; Glass, E. N. Killing tensors and symmetries. (English) Zbl 1190.83025 Classical Quantum Gravity 27, No. 9, Article ID 095004, 14 p. (2010). Summary: A new method is presented for finding Killing tensors in spacetimes with symmetries. The method is used to find all the Killing tensors of Melvin’s magnetic universe and the Schwarzschild vacuum. We show that they are all trivial. The method requires less computation than solving the full Killing tensor equations directly, and it can be used even when the spacetime is not algebraically special.
