Obtaining the multiple Debever null directions
The explicit expression of the multiple Debever null directions of an algebraically special spacetime are obtained in terms of the electric and magnetic parts of the Weyl tensor. An algorithm for the determination of the Petrov-Bel type and the algorithm to obtain the multiple Debever null directions are implemented on the xAct Mathematica suite of packages. The corresponding notebooks with examples are provided and explained.
