Suppose that on a Riemannian manifold (M,g) there is a killing vector such that
##\mathcal{L}_{\xi} g = 0.##

How would one then characterize the group of diffeomorphisms ##f: M \to M## such that

$$\mathcal{L}_{f^* \xi} (f^*g) = 0?$$

How would one describe them? Do they have a name and can an explicit form be found?

Alternatively, given a killing vector ##\xi## how would one describe the diffeomorphisms ##f: M \to M## such that ##\xi## remains a killing vector also for ##f^* g##? I.e. ##\mathcal{L}_{\xi} f^*g = 0##.
