Abstract

In this paper it is shown that reduction from maximal to minimal static, spherical symmetry of a space-time occurs in only one step reducing the number of independent Killing vector fields from 10 to 4. Maximal symmetry corresponds only to the de Sitter, anti-de Sitter, and Minkowski metrics, without reference to the Einstein field equations.
