Summary: The question how many real analytic equiaffine connections with arbitrary torsion exist locally on a smooth manifold $M$ of dimension $n$ is studied. The families of general equiaffine connections and with skew-symmetric Ricci tensor, or with symmetric Ricci tensor, respectively, are described in terms of the number of arbitrary functions of $n$ variables. (English)
