      From the authors' abstract: ``We investigate the curvature of the so-called diagonal lift from an affine manifold to the linear frame bundle \(LM\). This is an affine analogue (but not a direct generalization) of the Sasaki-Mok metric on \(LM\) investigated by \textit{L. A. Cordero} and \textit{M. de León} in [J. Math. Pures Appl., IX. Sér. 65, 81--91 (1986; Zbl 0542.53014)].The Sasaki-Mok metric is constructed over a Riemannian manifold as base manifold''. Very roughly speaking the main result is as follows. Let \(\nabla\) be a symmetric affine connection of a manifold \(M\) and \(\mathbf{g}\) be the diagonal lift of \(\nabla\) to its linear frame bundle \(LM\). Then \((LM, \mathbf{g})\) is of constant scalar curvature if and only if the base manifold \((M, \nabla)\) is flat, and hence \((LM, \mathbf{g})\) is flat.
