    The authors survey their previous work concerning the following problem from the geometry of Lorentz 4-manifolds: to which extent does the connection and/or the curvature, possibly with certain curvature derivatives, determine the metric? Some partial but interesting answers are given, and links with related viewpoints from general relativity are established.
