Killing tensor of five dimensional Melvin’s spacetime

In this research, (3+1)D Melvin’s spacetime was extended into (4+1)D Melvin’s spacetime using hypersphere coordinates. Later, the method to compute Killing ten- sor as introduced by Garfinkle for (3+1)D spacetime was studied to compute Killing tensor in (4+1)D Melvin’s spacetime. Th...
