    The author establishes eight theorems concerning the automorphism group of a general G-structure on a compact manifold, with particular emphasis on the automorphism group of a compact Lorentz manifold. For the proof the author analyses the algebraic hull of a linear cocycle, simple automorphism groups of G-structures, simple and nilpotent automorphism groups of Lorentz manifolds, measurable invariant metrics and G- structures of finite type, some examples, applications to arithmetic groups and Kazhdan groups.
