A theorem formulated by Ignatowski for two dimensional space-times, and generalized by Corini to higher dimensions, states that based on simple assumptions (not including the assumption that the speed of light is invariant), the symmetry group of the space-time is one of only a few possibilities. A simplified proof is given for this theorem.
