Scientific paper

We give a covariant and deductive algorithm to determine, for every Petrov type, the geometric elements associated with the Weyl tensor: principal and other characteristic 2-forms, Debever null directions and canonical frames. We show the usefulness of these results by applying them in giving the explicit characterization of two families of metrics: static type I spacetimes and type III metrics with a hypersurface-orthogonal Killing vector.
