A characteristic for a complex Randers metric to be a complex Berwald metric is obtained. The formula of the holomorphic curvature for complex Randers metrics is given. It is shown that a complex Berwald Randers metric with isotropic holomorphic curvature must be either usually Kählerian or locally Minkowskian. The Deicke and Brickell theorems in complex Finsler geometry are also proved.

Abstract In this paper, we introduce the weighted projective Ricci curvature as an extension of projective Ricci curvature introduced by Z. Shen. We characterize the class of Randers metrics of weighted projective Ricci flat curvature. We find the necessary and sufficient condition under which a Kropina metric has weighted projective Ricci flat curvature. Finally, we show that every projectively flat metric with isotropic weighted projective Ricci and isotropic S-curvature is a Kropina metric or Randers metric.

Randers Metrics

The well-known Cheng–Shen conjecture says that every [Formula: see text]-quadratic Randers metric on a closed manifold is a Berwald metric. The class of [Formula: see text]-quadratic Randers metrics contains the class of generalized Douglas–Weyl Randers metrics. In this paper, we give a classification of left-invariant Randers metrics of generalized Douglas–Weyl type on three-dimensional Lie groups. Based on our classification theorem, we find a counter-example for the Cheng–Shen conjecture.

In this paper, we study the Ricci directional curvature defined by H. Akbar-Zadeh in Finsler geometry and obtain the formula of Ricci directional curvature for Randers metrics. Let F = α + β be a Randers metric on a manifold M, where [Formula: see text] is a Riemannian metric and β = biyi is a closed 1-form on M. We prove that F is a generalized Einstein metric if and only if it is a Berwald metric.

The collection of all projective vector fields on a Finsler space (M, F) is a finite-dimensional Lie algebra with respect to the usual Lie bracket, called the projective algebra. A specific Lie sub-algebra of projective algebra of Randers spaces (called the special projective algebra) of non-zero constant S-curvature is studied and it is proved that its dimension is at most [Formula: see text]. Moreover, a local characterization of Randers spaces whose special projective algebra has maximum dimension is established. The results uncover somehow the complexity of projective Finsler geometry versus Riemannian geometry.

AbstractStudying geodesic orbit Randers metrics on spheres, we obtain a complete classification of such metrics. Our method relies upon the classification of geodesic orbit Riemannian metrics on the spheres Sn in [17] and the navigation data in Finsler geometry. We also construct some explicit U(n + 1)-invariant metrics on S2n+1 and Sp(n + 1)U(1)-invariant metrics on S4n+3.

The existence of a homogeneous geodesic in homogeneous Finsler manifolds was positively answered in previous papers. However, the result is not optimal. In the present paper, this result is refined and the existence of at least two homogeneous geodesics in any homogeneous Finsler manifold is proved. In a previous paper, examples of Randers metrics which admit just two homogeneous geodesics were constructed, which shows that the present result is the best possible.

In this paper we study the geometry of simply connected two-step nilpotent Lie groups of dimension five. We give the Levi–Civita connection, curvature tensor, sectional and scalar curvatures of these spaces and show that they have constant negative scalar curvature. Also we show that the only space which admits left-invariant Randers metric of Berwald type has three-dimensional center. In this case the explicit formula for computing flag curvature is obtained and it is shown that flag curvature and sectional curvature have the same sign.

Let [Formula: see text] be a Lie group equipped with a left invariant Randers metric of Berward type [Formula: see text], with underlying left invariant Riemannian metric [Formula: see text]. Suppose that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are lifted Randers and Riemannian metrics arising from [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] on the tangent Lie group [Formula: see text] by vertical and complete lifts. In this paper, we study the relations between the flag curvature of the Randers manifold [Formula: see text] and the sectional curvature of the Riemannian manifold [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is of Berwald type. Then we give all simply connected three-dimensional Lie groups such that their tangent bundles admit Randers metrics of Berwarld type and their geodesics vectors.
