# Killing vectors of AdS space with the metric given in Poincaré coordinate [closed]

I am trying to solve this problem:

Find the Killing vector correspond to the symmetry of the scale invariant for the AdS(n+1)

$$(t,{\bf x}) \rightarrow (at, a{\bf x})$$

when the metric of the AdS is given in Poincaré coordinate:

$$ds^2=\frac{1}{|{\bf x}|^2}(-dt^2+d{\bf x}\cdot d{\bf x})$$

I know that I have to solve the Killing equation but how can I find the connection coefficients?

By connection coefficients, I assume you mean $\Gamma^\rho_{\mu\nu}$? Do you not know its definition in terms of the metric? –  Danu May 19 at 11:46
