Bochner's technique is applied to the study of timelike vector fields on a Lorentzian manifold. A Lorentzian Bochner integral formula is obtained; as a consequence, compact Ricci-flat Lorentzian manifolds admitting a timelike conformal vector field are classified. Some obstructions to the existence of timelike conformal vector fields and other conformal symmetries are also given.
