On Stretch curvature of Finsler manifolds

Authors
Abstract
In this paper, Finsler metrics with relatively non-negative (resp. non-positive), isotropic and constant stretch curvature are studied. In particular, it is showed that every compact Finsler manifold with relatively non-positive (resp. non-negative) stretch curvature is a Landsberg metric. Also, it is proved that every (α,β)-metric of non-zero constant flag curvature and non-zero relatively isotropic stretch curvature on a manifold of dimension n>2 has a constant characteristic scalar along the geodesics. Two dimensional Finsler manifolds of relatively stretch curvature are studied, too../files/site1/files/0Abstract4.pdf
