The aim of this paper is to give all anti-de Sitter manifolds of three dimensions which have a nontrivial Killing vector field. An anti-de Sitter manifold is a Lorentz manifold with constant curvature equal to \(-1\), and the modelling Lie group is \(\text{PSL}_2 (\mathbb{R})\). Because the only nontrivial Killing vector field on \(\text{PSL}_2 (\mathbb{R})\) is generated by the subgroup with one parameter of \(\text{PSL}_2 (\mathbb{R}) \times \text{PSL}_2 (\mathbb{R})\), the study of three dimensional anti-de Sitter manifolds which admit a nontrivial Killing vector field is equivalent to finding all admissible representations in a subgroup of one parameter. For details of the proof the reader is reffered to \textit{F. Salein} [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I 324, 525-530 (1997)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0882.00016].
