Abstract :
This paper studies hypersurfaces admitting a locally symmetric connection which is induced by the Gau\ss{} conormal map in affine geometry. It is known that the rank of the shape operator is of importance to this topic. In dimension two we give new results for an arbitrary shape operator. In the case of a non degenerate shape operator hypersurfaces with locally symmetric conormal connection can be treated as semi-Euclidean hypersurfaces. Moreover, we study whether and in which way a locally symmetric, projectively flat connection can be realized as the conormal connection of a hypersurface.

Keywords : Projectively flat connections, locally symmetric connections
