Resumen:
Using Killing spinors and spin reduction, we can obtain scalar equations for higher spin fields on a curved spacetime. We apply this method to Maxwell fields on Petrov type D spacetimes, with focus on the Kerr solution, and then we use adjoint operators to construct new solutions of Maxwell equations from solutions of this scalar equation. In this way, we obtain symmetry operators for both equations. We connect our results with symmetries already known, such as the Carter operator associated with the Killing tensor in Kerr spacetime.
