Characterizing Affine Vector Fields on Pseudo-Riemannian Manifolds

We study the characteristics of affine vector fields on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds and provide tensorial formulas that characterize these vector fields. Using our approach, we present a straightforward proof that any affine vector field on a compact Riemannian manifold is a Killing vector field. Mo...
