The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the relationship between the topological structure and differential geometric objects for affinely connected manifolds.

Let M be a compact, connected and oriented Riemannian manifold, Pr(M) the vector space of all parallel r-forms on M and br(M) the r-th Betti number of M.
