A Finsler metric F is said to be spherically symmetric if the orthogonal group O(n) acts as isometries of F. In this paper, we show that every spherically symmetric Finsler metric of isotropic Berwald curvature is a Randers metric. We also construct explicitly a lot of new isotropic Berwald spherically symmetric Finsler metrics.
We give a lot of new Finsler metrics of quadratic Weyl curvature which are non-trivial in the sense that these metrics are not of Weyl type. We also manufacture new Weyl metrics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
