Abstract

This paper is the second of a set of two papers on curvature collineations in general relativity. The first paper presented the mathematical basis of curvature collineations and a possible approach to their study. This paper continues from the first one by investigating in detail many of the cases where curvature collineations can occur in space-time. It is based on a classification of the curvature tensor which is discussed in the first paper and reviewed briefly here. This, together with the geometrical approach favored in this paper, leads to a rather general discussion of the problem which, it is hoped, does not obscure those physical aspects of the situation that are important in Einstein’s theory.
