Abstract:
We provide a list of all locally metric Weyl connections with nonpositive sectional curvatures on two types of manifolds, -dimensional tori and with the standard conformal structures. For we prove that it carries no other Weyl connections with nonpositive sectional curvatures, locally metric or not. In the case of we prove the same in the more narrow class of integrable connections.
