The flag curvature is a natural extension of the sectional curvature in Riemannian geometry, and the S-curvature is a non-Riemannian quantity which vanishes for Riemannian metrics. There are (incomplete) non-Riemannian Finsler metrics on an…

We find a family of K\"ahler metrics invariantly defined on the radius $r_0>0$ tangent disk bundle ${{\cal T}_{M,r_0}}$ of any given real space-form $M$ or any of its quotients by discrete groups of isometries. Such metrics are complete in…

If $\Gamma$ is the nullity space of the curvature tensor of a Riemannian manifold $M^n$, it is well known that if its dimension is constant and if $M^n$ is complete then the distribution $\Gamma$ is completely integrable with flat leaves.…
