Affine and projective symmetry in general relativity

A result regarding the decomposition of space-time using the Reimann tensor is proved and applied to other decompositions, as well as to the study of projective symmetry.  Affine and homothetic symmetries, including the zeros of proper homothetic vector fields and the orbit structure of affine, homo...
