A curve \(l\) in an \(n\)-dimensional space \(A_n\) with an affine connection is called almost geodesic if there exists a two-dimensional parallel distribution along \(l\), to which the tangent vector of \(l\) belongs at every point. A diffeomorphism \(f: A_n \to \widetilde{A}_n\) is an almost geodesic mapping if every geodesic of the space \(A_n\) into an almost geodesic curve of the space \(\widetilde{A}_n\). The authors study almost geodesic mappings \(\pi_2(e)\) from the space \(A_n\) onto \(n\)-dimensional Riemannian manifolds \(\widetilde{V}_n\). They refine fundamental equations of almost geodesic mappings \(\pi_2(e):A_n \to \widetilde{A}_n\) and prove that the set of Riemannian manifolds \(\widetilde{V}_n, \, n > 4,\) for which \(A_n\) admits almost geodesic mappings \(\pi_2(e)\), where \(e = -1\), depends on \(\frac{1}{2} n^2 (n+1) + 2n + 3\) real parameters. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1034.53002].
