      A complex Lie group is called \textit{affine} if it admits a holomorphic homomorphism \(\alpha\colon G\to \mathrm{GL}(N,\mathbb{C})\), for some \(N\in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}\), such that the induced homomorphism between the respective Lie algebras is injective. In this paper the authors consider Cartan geometries of type \((G,H)\), where \(G\) is a complex affine group and \(H\) is a complex Lie subgroup of \(G\), on a complex torus \(T\). They prove that \textsl{Every holomorphic Cartan geometry of type \((G,H)\), on any complex torus is translation invariant.} This results extends a similar result obtained by \textit{B. McKay} [SIGMA, Symmetry Integrability Geom. Methods Appl. 7, Paper 090, 11 p. (2011; Zbl 1247.53086)] for parabolic geometries (i.e. for pairs \((G,H)\), where \(G\) is a semisimple Lie group and \(H\) is a parabolic subgroup of \(G\)). It was conjectured in [\textit{S. Dumitrescu} and \textit{B. McKay}, Complex Manifolds 3, 1--15 (2016; Zbl 1357.32017)], that \textsl{all flat Cartan geometries on complex tori are translation invariant}: there the conjecture was proved for tori of dimension \(\leq 2\) and for \(G\) nilpotent.
