Abstract
We perform the complete symmetry classification of the Klein-Gordon equation in maximal symmetric spacetimes. The central idea is to find all possible potential functions V(t,x,y) that admit Lie and Noether symmetries. This is done by using the relation between the symmetry vectors of the differential equations and the elements of the conformal algebra of the underlying geometry. For some of the potentials, we use the admitted Lie algebras to determine corresponding invariant solutions to the Klein-Gordon equation. An integral part of this analysis is the problem of the classification of Lie and Noether point symmetries of the wave equation.
