Abstract
By means of bimetric Killing vectors two spherically symmetric fields are investigated: (i) the time-dependent one in Rosen's flat-background bimetric theory; and (ii) the energy-preserving in Rosen's cosmological-background bimetric theory withk = 1. In the first case a wave behavior of the field is present. In the second case a time evolution is obtained for fields, created by insular systems of constant energy. These phenomena are typical for bimetric theories of gravitation.
