Review text

Verff. betrachten zunächst Raum-Zeiten, die zwei vertauschbare Killing- Vektoren zulassen, wobei entweder beide raumartig sind, oder aber der eine raum- und der andere zeitartig ist. Sie geben Kriterien dafür an, daß eine Linearkombination beider Vektoren hyperflächenorthogonal ist und bringen einige Beispiele. Zum Schluß werden Bedingungen für die Existenz eines raumartigen hyperflächenorthogonalen Killing-Feldes im allgemeinen Fall hergeleitet.
