abstract

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 randers metric.

On BC-generalized Landsberg Finsler metrics

Equality of hh -curvatures of the Berwald and Cartan connections leads to a new class of Finsler metrics, socalled BC-generalized Landsberg metrics. Here, we prove that every BC-generalized Landsberg metric of scalar flag curvature with dimension greater than two is of constant flag curvature.

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.

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 ...
