Because the metric coefficients are independent of and ,are Killing vector fields. The mapssatisfy . Moreover, is unchanged and both and are invariant, so . Differentiating at produces the third Killing fieldGiven two points, first use to match their coordinates, then translations generated by and to match and . The isometry group therefore acts transitively, so the spacetime is a homogeneous space.
