I need to find Killing vectors of a given metric. Does anyone know Mathematica packages (or algorithms in general) that do the trick? Killing's equation is a coupled system of partial differential equations, so DSolve is not of much help here (or is it?). The commutator of two Killing vectors may give a new one. But when to stop searching? Thanks for any help, Urs Schreiber -- Urs.Schreiber at uni-essen.de
