AbstractWe study an important class of Finsler metrics, namely, Randers metrics. We classify Randers metrics of scalar flag curvature whose S-curvatures are isotropic. This class of Randers metrics contains all projectively flat Randers metrics with isotropic S-curvature and Randers metrics of constant flag curvature.

We introduce almost contact and cosymplectic Finsler manifolds. Then, we characterize almost contact Randers metrics. It is proved that a cosymplectic Finsler manifold of constant flag curvature must have vanishing flag curvature. We prove that every cosymplectic Finsler manifold is a Landsberg space, under a mild condition. Finally, we show that a cosymplectic Finsler manifold is a Douglas space if and only if it is a Berwald space.

In this paper, we prove that two Randers metrics are pointwise projectively related if and only if they have the same Douglas tensors and the corresponding Riemannian metrics are projectively related. Moreover, Randers metrics of constant flag curvature and Einstein–Randers metrics are considered.

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.
