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...
In this paper we prove that the holonomy group of a simply connected locally projectively flat Finsler manifold of constant curvature is a finite dimensional Lie group if and only if it is flat or it is Riemannian. In particular, the holonomy group of non-Riemannian projective Finsler manifolds of nonzero constant curvature is infinite dimensional.

The main objective of this paper is to study pseudo-projective tensor on sequential warped products and then obtain necessary sufficient conditions for a product be pseudo-projectively flat. Moreover, we also provide characterization flat generalized Robertson–Walker standard static spacetimes.
In the present paper, we have studied M -projectively flat generalized Sasakian space form, η-Einstein generalized Sasakian space form and irrotational M -projective curvature tensor on a Sasakian space form.
