In this paper, we consider invariant [Formula: see text]-metrics which are induced by invariant Riemannian metrics [Formula: see text] and invariant vector fields [Formula: see text] on homogeneous spaces. We study the flag curvatures of invariant [Formula: see text]-metrics. We first give an explicit formula for the flag curvature of invariant [Formula: see text]-metrics arising from invariant Riemannian metrics on homogeneous spaces and Lie groups. We then give some explicit formula for the flag curvature of invariant Matsumoto metrics, invariant Kropina metrics and invariant Randers metrics.

AbstractIn this paper, we consider a special class of solvable Lie groups such that for any x, y in their Lie algebras, [x, y] is a linear combination of x and y. We investigate the harmonicity properties of invariant vector fields of this kind of Lorentzian Lie groups. It is shown that any invariant unit time-like vector field is spatially harmonic. Moreover, we determine all vector fields which are critical points of the energy functional restricted to the space of smooth vector fields.

Special Case

In this paper, we study naturally reductive [Formula: see text]-metrics on homogeneous manifolds. We show that naturally reductive [Formula: see text]-metrics arise only when [Formula: see text] is naturally reductive and some conditions on [Formula: see text] is satisfied. We give an explicit formula for the flag curvature of naturally reductive [Formula: see text]metrics which improves the flag curvature formula of naturally reductive Randers metrics given in [D. Latifi, Naturally reductive homogeneous Randers spaces, J. Geom. Phys. 60 (2010) 1968–1973]. As a special case, we give an explicit formula for the flag curvature of bi-invariant [Formula: see text]-metrics on Lie groups.

The study of curvature properties of homogeneous Finsler spaces with [Formula: see text]-metrics is one of the central problems in Riemann–Finsler geometry. In this paper, the existence of invariant vector fields on a homogeneous Finsler space with square metric is proved. Further, an explicit formula for [Formula: see text]-curvature of a homogeneous Finsler space with square metric is established. Finally, using the formula of [Formula: see text]-curvature, the mean Berwald curvature of aforesaid [Formula: see text]-metric is calculated.

The study of curvature properties of homogeneous Finsler spaces with $(\alpha, \beta)$-metrics is one of the central problems in Riemann-Finsler geometry. In the present paper, the existence of invariant vector fields on a homogeneous Finsler space with Randers changed square metric has been proved. Further, an explicit formula for $S$-curvature of Randers changed square metric has been established. Finally, using the formula of $S$-curvature, the mean Berwald curvature of afore said $(\alpha, \beta)$-metric has been calculated.
