Linear and projective connections over a smooth manifold
The principal bundles of the first order coframes and the second order coframes, as well as factor bundle of centroprojective (coaffine) coframes are considered.

Linear transformations on affine-connections [PDF]
Abstract We state and prove a simple theorem that allows one to generate invariant quantities in metric-affine geometry, under a given transformation of the affine connection. We start by a general functional of the metric and the connection and consider transformations of the affine connection possessing a certain symmetry.

The theory of tangent bundles over a differentiable manifold M belongs to the geometry and topology of manifolds and is an intensively developing area of the theory of fiber spaces. The foundations of the theory of fibered spaces were laid in the works

Affine connections in quantum gravity and new scalar fields [PDF]
International audienceIn this manuscript, we will discuss the construction of covariant derivative operator inquantum gravity. We will find it is more perceptive alternative to use affine connections more general than metric compatible connections in ...

Geometries involving affine connections and general linear connections [PDF]
This paper deals with a general linear connection in the sense of R. König, in which a space of \(m\) dimensions is attached to each point of a general manifold of \(n\) dimensions. In such a general manifold of \(n\) dimensions are assumed a symmetric linear connection \(\Gamma_{jk}^i\), and a general linear connection \(L_{\beta a}^\alpha\), both ...

Linearization of nonlinear connections on vector and affine bundles, and some applications [PDF]
A linear connection is associated to a nonlinear connection on a vector bundle by a linearization procedure. Our definition is intrinsic in terms of vector fields on the bundle. For a connection on an affine bundle our procedure can be applied after homogenization and restriction. Several applications in Classical Mechanics are provided.

We apply concepts and methods due to \textit{D. Krupka} [Arch. Math., Brno 14, 207-214 (1978; Zbl 0428.58002)] to find all second order natural transformations of symmetric affine connections on manifolds into metrics on linear frame bundles. The complete family of naturally resulting metrics (to a fixed symmetric affine connection) is a real vector ...

The Ternary Structure of Lie Algebroid Connections [PDF]
We examine the heap of linear connections on anchored vector bundles and Lie algebroids. Naturally, this covers the example of affine connections on a manifold.

In the paper we consider almost geodesic mappings of the first type of spaces with affine connections onto generalized 2-Ricci-symmetric spaces, generalized 3-Ricci-symmetric spaces, and generalized m-Ricci-symmetric spaces.
