摘要

Hano’s theorem states that the space of Killing vector fields of a complete simply connected Riemannian manifold is isomorphic to the direct sum of the Killing vector fields of the factors in its de Rham decomposition. We prove a generalization of this theorem to manifolds with indefinite metrics that requires an assumption on the factors, and show by example why this assumption is needed.
