The Killing vector structure of those spaces of complexified general relativity known as expanding hyperheavens is investigated using the methods of spinor calculus. The Killing equations for all left-algebraically degenerate Einstein vacuum spaces are completely integrated. Using the available gauge freedom, the resulting homothetic and isometric Killing vectors are classified in an invariant way according to Petrov–Penrose type. A total of four distinct kinds of isometric Killing vectors and three distinct kinds of homothetic Killing vectors are found. A master Killing vector equation is found which gives the form that the Lie derivative of the metric potential function W must take in order that it admit a given Killing vector.
