摘要
By using conformal Killing-Yano tensors, and their generalizations, we obtain scalar potentials for both the source-free Maxwell and massless Dirac equations. For each of these equations we construct, from conformal Killing-Yano tensors, symmetry operators that map any solution to another. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
