      As it is known, a Walker manifold is a pseudo-Riemannian manifold admitting a degenerate parallel distribution. As the authors have mentioned in the abstract of the paper, ``locally homogeneous Lorentzian three-manifolds with recurrent curvature are special examples of Walker manifolds, that is, they admit a parallel null vector field''. In the paper under review, the authors obtain ``a full classification of the symmetries of these spaces, with particular regard to symmetries related to their curvature: Ricci and matter collineations, curvature and Weyl collineations''. As they have mentioned, ``several results are given for the broader class of three-dimensional Walker manifolds''.
