Abstract

This work shows how the equations which relate the Lanczos potential K_ijr to the conformal tensor C_abpq, can be structured in a simple form when written in terms of the formalism proposed by Geroch-Held-Penrose. As working examples, we present the immediate construction of K_ijk for any spacetime with Petrov type O, N or III. Our findings are in good agreement with already published results, which indicates a relationship between the spin coefficients and the Lanczos spintensor onto the canonical tetrad.
