Classification of the Weyl Tensor in Higher Dimensions
read the original abstract
We discuss the algebraic classification of the Weyl tensor in higher dimensional Lorentzian manifolds. This is done by characterizing algebraically special Weyl tensors by means of the existence of aligned null vectors of various orders of alignment. Further classification is obtained by specifying the alignment type and utilizing the notion of reducibility. For a complete classification it is then necessary to count aligned directions, the dimension of the alignment variety, and the multiplicity of principal directions. The present classification reduces to the classical Petrov classification in four dimensions. Some applications are briefly discussed.

A Complete Invariant Analysis of the Kerr Spacetime and its Photon Region
An invariant function is derived whose zeros identify spherical photon orbits in Kerr spacetime, parameterized by an inclination angle, enabling invariant characterization of the photon region and constants of motion.
