The affine-action classification conjecture

Let Γ<SL(n,R)\Gamma<SL(n,\mathbb R) be a lattice. An action of Γ\Gamma on a compact manifold is affine-connection preserving when it preserves both a volume form and an affine connection. The affine-action classification conjecture. Actions of Γ\Gamma with these properties should be classifiable, and every such action should be algebraically defined in the sense specified in the source. This is a geometric rigidity conjecture generalizing the expected algebraic description of standard examples such as the action on a torus.
