Abstract.Randers metrics are a special class of Finsler metrics. Every Randers metric can be expressed in terms of a Riemannian metric and a vector field via Zermelo navigation. In this paper, we show that a Randers metric has constant scalar curvature if the Riemannian metric has constant scalar curvature and the vector field is homothetic

The-metric is an important class of Finsler metrics including Randers metric as the simplest class, and many people research the Randers metrics. In this paper, we study a new class of Finsler metrics in the form ,Whereis a Riemannian metric, is a 1-form. Bengling Li had introduced the projective flat of the-Metric F. We find another method which is about flag curvature to prove the projective flat conditions of this kind of-metric.

Randers Metrics

Locally dually flat Finsler metrics arise from information geometry. Such metrics have special geometric properties. In this paper, we characterize locally dually flat and projectively flat Finsler metrics and study a special class of Finsler metrics called Randers metrics which are expressed as the sum of a Riemannian metric and a one-form. We find some equations that characterize locally dually flat Randers metrics and classify those with isotropic S-curvature.

If [Formula: see text] is a 3-dimensional contact metric manifold such that [Formula: see text] which admits a Yamabe soliton [Formula: see text] with the flow vector field [Formula: see text] pointwise collinear with the Reeb vector field [Formula: see text], then we show that the scalar curvature is constant and the manifold is Sasakian. Moreover, we prove that if [Formula: see text] is endowed with a Yamabe soliton [Formula: see text], then either [Formula: see text] is flat or it has constant scalar curvature and the flow vector field [Formula: see text] is Killing. Furthermore, we show that if [Formula: see text] is non-flat, then either [Formula: see text] is a Sasakian manifold of constant curvature [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] is an infinitesimal automorphism of the contact metric structure on [Formula: see text].

Randers Metrics

AbstractSome families of Randers metrics of scalar flag curvature are studied in this paper. Explicit examples that are neither locally projectively flat nor of isotropic S-curvature are given. Certain Randers metrics with Einstein α are considered and proved to be complex. Three dimensional Randers manifolds, with α having constant scalar curvature, are studied.

Randers Metrics

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.

We study the problem of deforming a Riemannian metric to a conformal one with nonzero constant scalar curvature and nonzero constant boundary mean curvature on a compact manifold of dimension [Formula: see text]. We prove the existence of such conformal metrics in the cases of [Formula: see text] or the manifold is spin and some other remaining ones left by Escobar. Furthermore, in the positive Yamabe constant case, by normalizing the scalar curvature to be [Formula: see text], there exists a sequence of conformal metrics such that their constant boundary mean curvatures go to [Formula: see text].

If a 3-dimensional Sasakian metric on a complete manifold (M, g) is a Yamabe soliton, then we show that g has constant scalar curvature, and the flow vector field V is Killing. We further show that, either M has constant curvature 1, or V is an infinitesimal automorphism of the contact metric structure on M.

Yamabe Soliton

If a three-dimensional [Formula: see text]-contact metric manifold [Formula: see text] admits a Yamabe soliton of type [Formula: see text], then the manifold has a constant scalar curvature and the flow vector field [Formula: see text] is Killing. Furthermore, either [Formula: see text] has a constant curvature [Formula: see text] or the flow vector field [Formula: see text] is a strict contact infinitesimal transformation. Also, we prove that if the metric of a three-dimensional [Formula: see text]-contact metric manifold [Formula: see text] admits a gradient Yamabe soliton, then either the manifold is flat or the scalar curvature is constant. Moreover, either the potential function is constant or the manifold is of constant sectional curvature [Formula: see text]. Finally, we have given an example to verify our result.
