Abstract
It is shown that given an analytic Lorentzian metric on a 4-manifold, , which admits two Killing vector fields, then it exists a local deformation law , where is a 2-dimensional projector, such that is flat and admits the same Killing vectors. We also characterize the particular case when the projector coincides with the quotient metric. We apply some of our results to general stationary axisymmetric spacetimes
