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.  PACS numbers: 04.20.-q; 04.20.Jb UDC 539.12
