How does one know from the general form of the killing vectors in minkowski space:
X[tex]^{a}[/tex] = [tex]\omega[/tex]_a_b(x[tex]^{a}[/tex]) + t[tex]^{a}[/tex]
that there are 3 rotational isometries, 3 boosts, 3 spatial translations, and 1 time translation from that general form? It has me very confused >.<
