In this paper, we introduce a new structure, namely, affine Szab\'o connection. We prove that, on $2$-dimensional affine manifolds, the affine Szab\'o structure is equivalent to one of the cyclic parallelism of the Ricci tensor. A…
This note proves the geodesic completeness of any compact manifold endowed with a linear connection such that the closure of its holonomy group is compact.
We give a full classification of general affine connections on Galilei manifolds in terms of independently specifiable tensor fields. This generalises the well-known case of (torsional) Galilei connections, i.e. connections compatible with…
The class of statistical manifolds with divisible cubic forms arises from affine differential geometry. We examine the geodesic connectedness of affine connections on this class of statistical manifolds. In information geometry, the…
The first examples of complete projective connections are uncovered: normal projective connections on surfaces whose geodesics are all closed and embedded are complete, as are normal projective connections induced from complete affine…
We examine geometric representability results for various classes of equiaffine curvature operators. We show every Ricci flat algebraic curvature operator is geometrically realizable by a Ricci flat torsion free connection on the tangent…
A projective link is a smooth closed 1-submanifold of the real projective space of dimension three. A projective link is said to be affine if it is isotopic to a link, which does not intersect some projective plane. The main result: a…
We determine those maps between affine or projective spaces that are linear in the abstract sense of transforming collinear points into collinear points and whose restriction to any line is constant or injective. Our results are extensions…
In this paper we prove that for a complete, connected and oriented K\"{a}ler affine manifold $(M,G)$ of dimension $n,$ if it is K\"ahler affine Ricci flat or the K$\ddot{a}$hler affine scalar curvature $S\equiv0,$ ($n\leq 5$), then the…
Geodesically complete affine manifolds are quotients of the Euclidean space through a properly discontinuous action of a subgroup of affine Euclidean transformations. An equivalent definition is that the tangent bundle of such a manifold…
We construct a canonically defined affine connection in sub-Riemannian contact geometry. Our method mimics that of the Levi-Civita connection in Riemannian geometry. We compare it with the Tanaka-Webster connection in the three-dimensional…
We establish a bijective correspondence between affine connections and a class of semi-holonomic jets of local diffeomorphisms of the underlying manifold called symmetry jets in the text. The symmetry jet corresponding to a torsion free…
In the present paper we study geometric structures associated with webs of hypersurfaces. We prove that with any geodesic (n+2)-web on an n-dimensional manifold there is naturally associated a unique projective structure and, provided that…
General invariants of a geometric mapping of a symmetric affine connection space are obtained in this paper. These invariants are generalizations of the previous obtained basic invariants (see [16]). Moreover, these invariants are related…
In the present paper, we study an extended theory of statistical manifolds in application to affine differential geometry. Any smooth hypersurface $M \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with a transverse vector field $\xi$ naturally admits a…
In this paper, we study locally strongly convex affine hyperspheres in the unimodular affine space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ which, as Riemannian manifolds, are locally isometric to the Riemannian product of two Riemannian manifolds both…
Smooth manifolds have been always understood intuitively as spaces with an affine geometry on the infinitesimal scale. In Synthetic Differential Geometry this can be made precise by showing that a smooth manifold carries a natural structure…
We study a class of affine manifolds equipped with a flat affine connection $\nabla$ and a global Riemannian metric $g$ that is diagonal in local affine coordinates. These structures are closely related to \emph{Hessian manifolds}, where…
In physics geometrical connections are the mean to create models with local symmetries (gauge connections), as well as general diffeomorphisms invariance (affine connections). Here we study the irreducible tensor decomposition of…
