The flag curvature of the Numata Finsler structures is shown to admit a nontrivial prolongation to the one-dimensional case, revealing an unexpected link with the Schwarzian derivative of the diffeomorphisms associated with these Finsler structures. Mathematics Subject Classification 2000: 58B20, 53A55 1 Finsler structures in a nutshell 1.1 Finsler metrics A Finsler structure is a pair (M,F ) w...
