On Ricci-Tensor of Randers Metrics

Differential Geometry 2015-05-19 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we study Randers metrics and find a condition on Ricci tensor of these metrics to be Berwaldian. This generalize Shen's Theorem which says: every R-{\deg}at complete Randers metric is locally Minkowskian. Then we find a necessary and sufficient condition on Ricci tensor under which a Randers metric of scalar {\deg}ag curvature is of zero {\deg}ag curvature.
