摘要
We study separability of the Hamilton-Jacobi and massive Klein-Gordon equations in the general Kerr-de Sitter spacetime in higher dimensions. Complete separation of both equations is carried out in 2n + 1 spacetime dimensions with all n rotation parameters equal, in which case the rotational symmetry group is enlarged from (U (1))(n) to U (n). We explicitly construct the additional Killing vectors associated with the enlarged symmetry group which permit separation. We also derive first-order equations of motion for particles in these backgrounds and examine some of their properties.
