The change to ingoing Kerr coordinates adds functions of to and , and leaves unchanged. Differentiating at fixed therefore gives and . Differentiating at fixed gives and . Hence the two Killing vector fields are
They remain the stationary and axial Killing vector fields; the coordinate change does not mix their generators with .
