Abstract

This paper shows that many of the results derived by Pravda et al (2007 Class. Quantum Grav. 24 4407–28) for higher-dimensional type D Einstein spacetimes can be generalized to all Einstein spacetimes admitting a multiple Weyl-aligned null direction (WAND), the main new result being the extension to include the type II case. Examples of type D Einstein spacetimes admitting non-geodesic multiple WANDs are given in all dimensions greater than 4.
