  Killing-Yano tensors are natural generalizations of Killing vectors. We
investigate whether Killing-Yano tensors form a graded Lie algebra with respect
to the Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket. We find that this proposition does not hold
in general, but that it does hold for constant curvature spacetimes. We also
show that Minkowski and (anti)-deSitter spacetimes have the maximal number of
Killing-Yano tensors of each rank and that the algebras of these tensors under
the SN bracket are relatively simple extensions of the Poincare and (A)dS
symmetry algebras.
