✦ Synopsis

This paper provides a geometrical discussion of affine (including isometric and homothetic), conformal and curvature symmetries in space-time. Emphasis is laid more on a systematic presentation of the material rather than the accumulation of exact solutions of Einstein's equations. A review of recent work is given and some new results presented.
