The authors prove some relations between the causal character of projective vector fields and curvature on a Lorentzian manifold. As a consequence, obstructions to the existence of such vector fields are found. Several particular cases are considered as well. The paper involves Bochner's technique. The relations with the current literature on this subject are well explained.
