Abstract:
We present covariant symmetry operators for the conformal wave equation in the (off-shell) Kerr-NUT-AdS spacetimes. These operators fit within the general theory of conformally invariant operators and all mutually commute for the conformal class of related spacetimes. This guarantees the R-separability of the conformal wave equation therein. Key to constructing this physically motivated example is the principal Killing-Yano tensor and the tower of hidden symmetries that it generates.
