Hall, G.S.; da Costa, J.
Affine collineations in space-time. (English)
[J] J. Math. Phys. 29, No. 11, 2465-2472 (1988). ISSN 0022-2488; ISSN 1089-7658/e

Local Lie groups of local affine transformations are considered. The defining condition $\xi\sb{a;bc}=R\sb{abcd}\xi\sp d$ is evaluated, and the connection to the possible different types of the holonomy group (discussed in an earlier paper of the first author and {\it W. Kay} [ibid. 29, No.2, 428-432 (1988; Zbl 0645.53012)] is established. For non- flat space-times, the maximum dimension of the Lie algebra turns out to be 9. Fixed points and global extensions of affine collineations are discussed.
