Abstract

We prove that every isotropic Berwald metric of scalar flag curvature is a Randers metric. We study the relation between an isotropic Berwald metric and a Randers metric which are pointwise projectively related. We show that on constant isotropic Berwald manifolds the notions of R-quadratic and stretch metrics are equivalent. Then we prove that every complete generalized Landsberg manifold with isotropic Berwald curvature reduces to a Berwald manifold. Finally, we study C-conformal changes of isotropic Berwald metrics.
