ABSTRACT
The perturbation equation of masseless fields for Kerr-de Sitter geometry are written in form of seperable
equations as in [19] called the Angular Teukolsky equation. The Angular Teukolsky equation is converted to General
Heun’s equation with singularities coinciding through some confluent process of one of five singularities. As in [17]
and [18] rational polynomials of at most degree two are introduced.
AMS Subject classification: 33XX.

1. INTRODUCTION
Teukolsky equations are the consequences of perturbation equation fer Kerr- de Sitter geometry with
the separability of angular and radial parts respec- tively. Carter [1] was the first to discover that the scalar wave
function is Separable other consideration is the
1
Spin electromagnetic field, gravita- tional perturbations and
gravitino for the Kerr-deSitter class of geometry.
The Teukolsky equation is applicable in he study of black holes in gen-eral. The solutions of the equation are
in most cases expressed as series solutions of some specialized functions. This approach has been carried out by so
many researchers say Teukolsky (1973), Breuer et all (1977), Frackerelland Crossman (1977), Leahy and Unruh
(1979), Chakrabarti (1984),Siedel(1989), Suzuki et all (1989) just to mention but
few.AlthoughTeukolskyequationhasfivesingularpointsoneirregularwithfourregularpoints.Bysome confluent process,
these singular points are reduced to four coinciding with the singular points of Heun’ s equation.
The objective of this work is to obtain polynomial solutions for the de- rived Tuekolsky equation through its
conversion to Heun’ s equation through rational polynomials of degree at most 2. New solutions in terms of the ra-
tional polynomials are obtained
The paper is organized as follows; The first section deals with the intro- duction of Teukolsky equation, the
second section deals with the derivation of Teukolsky using the work of [19], the third section has to do with the
derivation of Angular Teukolsky and its conversion to Heun’ s equation and the fourth section has to do with Heun’ s
differential equation and its trans- formation to hypergeometric differential equation via rational polynomials of at
most degree two.
