Conformal Killing vector field
text:
In conformal geometry, a conformal Killing vector field on a manifold of dimension n with (pseudo) Riemannian metric g , is a vector field X whose flow defines conformal transformations, that is, preserve g up to scale and preserve the conformal structure. Several equivalent formulations, called the conformal Killing equation, exist in terms of the Lie derivative of the flow e.g. L X g = λ g for some function λ on the manifold. For n ≠ 2 there are a finite number of solutions, specifying the con
