In this paper, we prove that an affine manifold M is finitely covered by a manifold $\overline{M}$ where $\overline{M}$ is radiant or the tangent bundle of $\overline{M}$ has a conformally flat vector subbundle of the projective holonomy group of M admits an invariant probability Borel measure. This implies that$x^M$is zero.

It is an interesting problem to study fixed points of an element in the holonomy group of an affine manifold. We compute the limit of a sequence of projective transformations and verify relations between fixed points and kernels.

Let M = (R, +, $\cdot$, <, ... ) be an o-minimal expansion of the standard structure R = (R, +, $\cdot$, >) of the field of real numbers. We prove that if 2 $\le$ r < $\infty$, then every n-dimensional definable $C^r$ manifold is definably $C^r$ imbeddable into $R^{2n+l}$. Moreover we prove that if 1 < s < r < $\infty$, then every definable $C^s$ manifold admits a unique definable $C^r$ manifold structure up to definable $C^r$ diffeomorphism.

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.

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.

In this paper, we find a condition of an open subset of the affine space which admits a cocompact affine action. To do it, the asymptotic flag of an open convex subset is introduced and some applications to affine manifolds are presented.

In this article we show that every quasi-homogeneous convex affine domain whose boundary is everywhere differentiable except possibly at a finite number of points is either homogeneous or covers a compact affine manifold. Actually we show that such a domain must be a non-elliptic strictly convex cone if it is not homogeneous.

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 the present paper, we study conformal and projective Killing vector fields and infinitesimal Q-transformations on a quaternionic Kahlerian manifold, and prove that an infinitesimal conformal or projective automorphism in a compact quaternionic Kahlerian manifold is necessarily infinitesimal automorphism.

In the present paper, we introduce the notions of quaternionically planar curves and quaternionically projective transformations to the case of almost quaternionic manifold with symmetric affine connection. Also, we obtain an invariant tensor field under the quaternionically projective transformation, and show that a quaternionic Kahlerian manifold with such a vanishing tensor field is of constant Q-sectional curvature.
