Carter's case [D] admits the 2nd Canonical Form of the Killing Tensor

The study of the Canonical Forms of the Killing Tensor concerns the simultaneous resolving of the Integrability Conditions of the Killing Tensor along with the Einstein's Field Equations employing the framework of Newman-Penrose Formalism. We present all the Petrov Types admitting the 2nd and 3rd Canonical Forms of Killing Tensor in Vacuum in the frame of General Theory of Relativity. During the investigation of the Type D solution of 2nd Canonical form of the Killing Tensor the Carter's Case [D] solution in Vacuum emerged.

Rotating figures of equilibrium in General Relativity

A generalization of the notion of surfaces of revolution in the spaces of General Relativity is presented. We apply this definition to the case of Carter's family [A] of solutions and we study the Kerr's metric with respect the above mentioned foliation.
