On generalized 4-th root metrics of isotropic scalar curvature
-
Akbar Tayebi
Abstract
By an interesting physical perspective and a suitable contraction of the Riemannian curvature tensor in Finsler geometry, Akbar-Zadeh introduced the notion of scalar curvature for the Finsler metrics. A Finsler metric is called of isotropic scalar curvature if the scalar curvature depends on the position only. In this paper, we study the class of generalized 4-th root metrics. These metrics generalize 4-th root metrics which are used in Biology as ecological metrics. We find the necessary and sufficient condition under which a generalized 4-th root metric is of isotropic scalar curvature. Then, we find the necessary and sufficient condition under which the conformal change of a generalized 4-th root metric is of isotropic scalar curvature. Finally, we characterize the Bryant metrics of isotropic scalar curvature.
