In the present paper, we shall prove new characterizations of Berwald spaces and Landsberg spaces. The main idea inthis research is the use of the so-called average Riemannian metric.

Randers manifolds are studied in the framework of the pullback bundle formalism, with the aid of intrinsic methods only. After checking a sufficient condition for a Randers manifold to be a Finsler manifold, we provide a systematic description of the Riemann-Finsler metric, the canonical spray, the Barthel endomorphism, the Berwald connection, the Cartan tensors and the Cartan vector field in t...

We investigate the notions of a connection of Finsler type and of Berwald type on the first jet bundle J1π of a manifold E which is fibred over IR. Such connections are associated to a given horizontal distribution on the bundle π0 1 : J 1π → E, which in particular may come from a time-dependent system of second-order ordinary differential equations. In order to accomodate three existing constr...

In this paper, we study the curvature features of class homogeneous Randers metrics. For these metrics, first find a reduction criterion to be Berwald metric based on mild restriction their Ricci tensors. Then, prove that every with relatively isotropic (or weak) Landsberg must Riemannian. This provides an extension well-known Deng-Hu theorem proves same result for Berwald-Randers non-zero flag...

In this paper, we study the class of cubic (\alpha, \beta)-metrics. We show that every weakly Landsberg \beta)-metric has vanishing S-curvature. Using it, prove is a metric if and only it Berwald metric. This yields an extension Matsumoto's result for

In this paper, we study the Finsler space with special (α, β)-metric is scalar flag curvature and proved that, if it weakly Berwald only vanishes curvature. Further, found that metric locally Minkowskian.

equality of -curvatures of the berwald and cartan connections leads to a new class of finsler metrics, so-called 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.

Berwald and Wagner manifolds are two important classes of spaces in Finsler geometry. They are closely related to each other via the conformal change of the metric. After discussing the basic definitions and the elements of the theory we present general methods to construct examples of them.

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.
