Abstract
Abstract We study the question how many real analytic torsion-free affine connections exist locally on a smooth manifold M of dimension n. The families of torsion-free connections with skew-symmetric Ricci tensor and those with symmetric Ricci tensor are determined in terms of the number of arbitrary functions of n variables.
