Abstract

Recently, we developed a method for the study of holonomy properties of non-Riemannian Finsler manifolds and obtained that the holonomy group cannot be a compact Lie group if the Finsler manifold of dimension >2 has non-zero constant flag curvature. The purpose of this paper is to move further, exploring the holonomy properties of projectively flat Finsler manifolds of non-zero constant flag curvature. We prove in particular that projectively flat Randers and Bryant–Shen manifolds of non-zero constant flag curvature have infinite dimensional holonomy group.
