1. Introduction
In [
1], Andrzej and Shen studied some geometric and topological consequences of the existence of a non-trivial Codazzi tensor on a Riemannian manifold. They also introduced Codazzi tensors associated with any linear connections. Bourguignon obtained the results of this type and gave the proof of the existence of such a strong constraint of the tensor on the curvature operator in [
2]. In [
3], Dajczer and Tojeiro found the correspondence between the Ribaucour transformation of a submanifold and Codazzi tensor exchanged with its second fundamental form. In [
4], the authors defined a Codazzi tensor on conformally symmetric space, and characterized the Einstein manifold and constant sectional curvature manifold by inequalities between certain functions of this tensor.
In [
5], Merton and Gabe discussed the classification of Codazzi tensors with exactly two eigenfunctions on a Riemannian manifold of three or more dimensions. In [
6], Blaga and Nannicini considered the statistical structure on a smooth manifold with a torsion-free affine connection, and they also gave the definition of the quasi-statistical structure, which is the generalization of the statistical structure. Wang gave algebraic Ricci solitons and affine Ricci solitons associated with canonical connections and Kobayashi–Nomizu connections on three-dimensional Lorentzian Lie groups, respectively in [
7,
8]. In [
2,
9], the authors gave the definition of the Bott connection.
In [
1], Andrzej and Shen showed that the existence of nontrivial Codazzi tensors on Riemannian manifolds induces some geometric and topological results. We believe that our study of affine Codazzi tensors will induce some geometric and topological results in affine geometry, and we are prepared to study this question in the future. The classification of Class B manifolds:
in three-dimensional Lie groups is given by Calvaruso in [
10]. Our research shows that the Ricci tensors of Bott connections, canonical connections and Kobayashi–Nomizu connections are Codazzi tensors can be used as an affine parallel to the above results in [
10]. Class B manifolds are widely used in differential geometry classifications, and one can find more examples in [
11]. We believe our results are useful for the classification of affine Lie groups. Blaga and Nannicini considered the statistical structure on a smooth manifold with a torsion-free affine connection, and they also gave the definition of the quasi-statistical structure, which is the generalization of the statistical structure in [
6]. Blaga and Nannicini proved that any quasi-statistical structure on M, defined by a symmetric or skew-symmetric tensor, induces the generalized quasi-statistical structures and the generalized dual quasi-statistical connection on
in [
12]. In this paper, we classify three-dimensional Lorentzian Lie groups on which Ricci tensors associated with Bott connections, canonical connections and Kobayashi–Nomizu connections are Codazzi tensors associated with these connections. We also classify three-dimensional Lorentzian Lie groups with the quasi-statistical structure associated with Bott connections, canonical connections and Kobayashi–Nomizu connections.
In
Section 2, we classify three-dimensional Lorentzian Lie groups on which Ricci tensors and Kobayashi–Nomizu connections are Codazzi tensors associated with Bott connections. In
Section 3, we classify three-dimensional Lorentzian Lie groups with the quasi-statistical structure associated with Bott connections. In
Section 4, we classify three-dimensional Lorentzian Lie groups on which Ricci tensors associated with canonical connections and Kobayashi–Nomizu connections are Codazzi tensors associated with canonical connections and Kobayashi–Nomizu connections. In
Section 5, we classify three-dimensional Lorentzian Lie groups with the quasi-statistical structure associated with canonical connections and Kobayashi–Nomizu connections.

6. Conclusions
It is clearly shown in the above two tables that there are Codazzi tensors associated with affine connections on three-dimensional Lorentzian Lie groups and there is a quasi-statistical structure associated with affine connections on three-dimensional Lorentzian Lie groups.
Table 1 shows the conditions that Ricci tensors associated with Bott connections, canonical connections and Kobayashi–Nomizu connections are Codazzi tensors associated with Bott connections, canonical connections and Kobayashi–Nomizu connections on
. For Bott connections, there is a contradiction on
, there is a permanent establishment on
and there are corresponding conditions on
. For canonical connections, there is a contradiction on

, there is a permanent establishment on
and there are corresponding conditions on
.
As is shown in
Table 2, we can obtain
with the quasi-statistical structure associated with Bott connections, canonical connections and Kobayashi–Nomizu connections. For Bott connections, there is a contradiction on
, there is a permanent establishment on
and there are corresponding conditions on
. For canonical connections, there is a contradiction on
, there is a permanent establishment on
and there are corresponding conditions on

The two tables have something in common in that there are three kinds of situations for three different affine connections on seven connected or simply connected three-dimensional Lorentzian Lie groups. The main difference is Bott connections. The results of no solution and constancy in
Table 1 are more than those in
Table 2. Therefore, we know that for three kinds of connections, torsion tensor has a stronger effect on Bott connections than the other two.
