Abstract: If $mathcalM=(M,abla)$ is an affine surface, let $mathcalQ(mathcalM):=ker(mathcalH+frac1m-1h{o}_s)$ be the space of solutions to the quasi-Einstein equation for the crucial eigenvalue. Let $ildemathcalM=(M,ildeabla)$ be another affine structure on $M$ which is strongly projectively flat. We show that $mathcalQ(mathcalM)=mathcalQ(ildemathcalM)$ if and only if $abla=ildeabla$ and that $mathcalQ(mathcalM)$ is linearly equivalent to $mathcalQ(ildemathcalM)$ if and only if $mathcalM$ is linearly equivalent to $ildemathcalM$. We use these observations to classify the flat Type~$mathcalA$ connections up to linear equivalence, to classify the Type~$mathcalA$ connections where the Ricci tensor has rank 1 up to linear equivalence, and to study the moduli spaces of Type~$mathcalA$ connections where the Ricci tensor is non-degenerate up to affine equivalence.
