Finsler metrics with special Riemannian curvature properties

finsler metrics with special landsberg curvature

in this paper, we study a class of finsler metrics which contains the class of p-reducible andgeneral relatively isotropic landsberg metrics, as special cases. we prove that on a compact finsler manifold,this class of metrics is nothing other than randers metrics. finally, we study this class of finsler metrics withscalar flag curvature and find a condition under which these metrics reduce to r...

Two-Dimensional Finsler Metrics with Constant Curvature

We construct infinitely many two-dimensional Finsler metrics on S 2 and D 2 with non-zero constant flag curvature. They are all not locally projectively flat.

Nonreversible Finsler Metrics of Positive Flag Curvature

Projectively Flat Finsler Metrics of Constant Curvature

It is the Hilbert’s Fourth Problem to characterize the (not-necessarilyreversible) distance functions on a bounded convex domain in R such that straight lines are shortest paths. Distance functions induced by a Finsler metric are regarded as smooth ones. Finsler metrics with straight geodesics said to be projective. It is known that the flag curvature of any projective Finsler metric is a scala...

On conformal transformation of special curvature of Kropina metrics

      An important class of Finsler metric is named Kropina metrics which is defined by Riemannian metric α and 1-form β  which have many applications in physic, magnetic field and dynamic systems. In this paper, conformal transformations of χ-curvature and H-curvature of Kropina metrics are studied and the conditions that preserve this quantities are investigated. Also it is shown that in the ...
