On isotropic Berwald metrics

Akbar Tayebi, Behzad Najafi (2012)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

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...

Generalized P-reducible (α,β)-metrics with vanishing S-curvature

A. Tayebi, H. Sadeghi (2015)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We study one of the open problems in Finsler geometry presented by Matsumoto-Shimada in 1977, about the existence of a concrete P-reducible metric, i.e. one which is not C-reducible. In order to do this, we study a class of Finsler metrics, called generalized P-reducible metrics, which contains the class of P-reducible metrics. We prove that every generalized P-reducible (α,β)-metric with vanishing S-curvature reduces to a Berwald metric or a C-reducible metric. It follows that there...
