The (affine) development of a smooth curve in a smooth manifold M with respect to an arbitrarily given affine connection in the bundle of affine frames over M is well known (cf. S.Kobayashi and K.Nomizu, Foundations of Differential Geometry, Vol.1). In this paper, we get the generalized affine development of a smooth curve $x_t$ ($t{\in}[0,1]$) in M into the affine tangent space at $x_0$ (${\in}M$) with respect to a given generalized affine connection in the bundle of affine frames over M.

We get a necessary and sufficient condition for a generalized affine connection in the affine orthonormal frame bundle over a smooth manifold (M, g) to be a Yang-Mills connection.

In this paper, we study the Einstein multiply warped products with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection and the multiply warped products with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection with constant scalar curvature, we apply our results to generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection and generalized Kasner spacetimes with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection and find some new examples of Einstein affine manifolds and affine manifolds with constant scalar curvature. We also consider the multiply warped products with an affine connection with a zero torsion.

In this paper, we make a minute and detailed proof of a part which is omitted in the process of obtaining the value of the curvature tensor for an invariant affine connection at the point {H} of a reductive homogeneous space G/H in the paper 'Invariant affine connections on homogeneous spaces' by K. Nomizu.

In this paper, we show that there exists no left invariant Riemannian metric h on the Heisenberg group H such that (H, h) is a symmetric Riemannian manifold, and there does not exist any H-invariant metric $\bar{h}$ on the Heisenberg manifold $H/{\Gamma}$ such that the Riemannian connection on ($H/{\Gamma},\bar{h}$) is a Yang-Mills connection. Moreover, we get necessary and sufficient conditions for a group homomorphism of (SU(2), g) with an arbitrarily given left invariant metric g into (H, h) with an arbitrarily given left invariant metric h to be a harmonic and an affine map, and get the totality of harmonic maps of (SU(2), g) into H with a left invariant metric, and then show the fact that any affine map of (SU(2), g) into H, equipped with a properly given left invariant metric on H, does not exist.

Let G be a compact and connected semisimple Lie group, H a closed subgroup, g (resp. h) the Lie algebra of G (resp. H), B the Killing form of g, g the normal metric on the homogeneous space G/H which is induced by -B. Let D be an invarint connection with Weyl structure (D, g, ${\omega}$) in the tangent bundle over the normal homogeneous Riemannian manifold (G/H, g) which is projectively flat. Then, the affine connection D on (G/H, g) is a Yang-Mills connection if and only if D is the Levi-Civita connection on (G/H, g).

Using a Reilly type integral formula due to Li and Xia [23], we prove several geometric inequalities for affine connections on Riemannian manifolds. We obtain some general De Lellis-Topping type inequalities associated with affine connections. These not only permit to derive quickly many well-known De Lellis-Topping type inequalities, but also supply a new De Lellis-Topping type inequality when the 1-Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature is bounded from below by a negative function. On the other hand, we also achieve some Lichnerowicz type estimate for the first (nonzero) eigenvalue of the affine Laplacian with the Robin boundary condition on Riemannian manifolds.

A convex $RP^n$-structure on a smooth anifold M is a representation of M as a quotient of a convex domain $\Omega \subset RP^n$ by a discrete group $\Gamma$ of collineations of $RP^n$ acting properly on $\Omega$. When M is a closed surface of genus g > 1, then the equivalence classes of such structures form a moduli space $B(M)$ homeomorphic to an open cell of dimension 16(g-1) (Goldman [2]). This cell contains the Teichmuller space $T(M)$ of M and it is of interest to know what of the rich geometric structure extends to $B(M)$. In [3], a symplectic structure on $B(M)$ is defined, which extends the symplectic structure on $T(M)$ defined by the Weil-Petersson Kahler form.

Toric variety is a normal algebraic variety containing algebraic torus $T_N$ as an open dense subset with an algebraic action of $T_N$ which is an extension of the group law of $T_N$. A toric variety can be described in terms of a certain collection, which is called a fan, of cones. From this fact, the properties of a toric variety have strong connection with the combinatorial structure of the corresponding fan and the relations among the generators. That is, we can translate the diffcult algebrogeometric properties of toric varieties into very simple properties about the combinatorics of cones in affine spaces over the reals.
