Abstract
In this chapter we shall describe the spaces of maximal globally hyperbolic (Hausdorff) spaces-times for which the groups $S0(3) \times U(l), S0(3)$ (two-dimensional principal orbits) and $U(l) \times U(l) \times U(l)$ act by isometries on some compact, connected and orientable Cauchy surface. We start by proving the well known result, that symmetries of Cauchy data lead to symmetries of the space-time:
