Abstract
Motivated by the construction of Bach flat neutral signature Riemannian extensions, we study the space of parallel trace-free tensors of type (1, 1) on an affine surface. It is shown that the existence of such a parallel tensor field is characterized by the recurrence of the symmetric part of the Ricci tensor.
