in coordinatesthe infinitesimal isometries of minkowski space are 3 boosts and 3 rotations (and 4 displacements).
I.e
whereare killing vectors given by

I am probably being really thick, but what are the killing vectors that preserve the surfaces ofI am totally confused, or atleast how do I work them out? I expect there should be three such vectors, and are linear combinations of the above vectors.
If these where constant t surfaces, then this would be easy, it's just 3 rotations, but i need to know, where the constant could be zero I suppose if that makes it easier.
