Abstract
We consider the massless Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau equation for the general rotating space-times, then find its second-order form for a given geometry. Using this second-order differential equation for two well-known cosmological models, the exact solutions of the massless Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau equation were obtained. On the other hand, by using spinor form of the Maxwell equations, the propagation problem is reduced to the solution of the second-order differential equation of a complex combination of the electric and magnetic fields. For these two different approaches, we obtain the spinors in terms of the field-strength tensor.
