It is well known that the perturbation equations of massless fields for theKerr-de Sitter geometry can be written in the form of separable equations. Theequations have five definite singularities so that the analysis has beenexpected to be difficult. We show that these equations can be transformed toHeun's equations, for which we are able to use known technique for the analysisof the solutions. We reproduce results known previously for the Kerr geometryand de Sitter geometry in the confluent limits of the Heun's functions. Ouranalysis applies can be extended to Kerr-Newman-de Sitter geometry for masslessfields with spin 0 and 1/2.Comment: 17 pages, LaTe
