A note on proper affine symmetry in Bianchi types VIII and IX space-times

Abstract

We consider the most general form of Bianchi types VIII and IX space-times for studying proper affine symmetry by using holonomy and decomposability, the rank of the 6X6 Riemann matrix and direct integration techniques. Studying proper affine symmetry in the above space-times it is shown that there exists only one possibilty when the above space-times admit proper affine vector field.
