Abstract
This paper investigates space-times which admit anr-dimensional Lie algebra of homothetic vector fields at least one of which is proer homothetic. The situation is resolved completely ifr ≥ 6 and some general results are given whenr ≤ 5. Some applications to the study of affine vector fields in space-times are also given and the maximum dimension of this latter algebra is computed and corrects an earlier error.
