Review text

The authors consider the situation of a 4-dimensional manifold admitting two metric connections, one of which is compatible with a metric of signature \((+,+, -,-)\), and which have the same unparametrised geodesics. They show how, in many cases, depending on the holonomy type, a relationship between these connections and metrics can be found.
