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.
