Let $F$ be a homogeneous $(\alpha_1,\alpha_2)$ metric on the reductive homogeneous manifold $G/H$. Firstly, we characterize the natural reductiveness of $F$ as a local $f$-product between naturally reductive Riemannian metrics. Secondly, we…

In this paper, first, we give an explicit formula for the flag curvature of a homogeneous Finsler space with generalized $m$-Kropina metric. Then, we show that, under a mild condition, the two definitions of naturally reductive homogeneous…
A Finsler space $(M,F)$ is called flag-wise positively curved, if for any $x\in M$ and any tangent plane $\mathbf{P}\subset T_xM$, we can find a nonzero vector $y\in \mathbf{P}$, such that the flag curvature $K^F(x,y, \mathbf{P})>0$. Though…
In this paper we prove that a Finsler metrics has constant flag curvature if and only if the curvature of the induced nonlinear connection satisfies an algebraic identity with respect to some arbitrary second rank tensors. Such algebraic…
The flag curvature is a natural Finsler extension of the sectional curvature in Riemannian geometry. However, there are many non-Riemannian quantities which interact with the flag curvature. In this paper, we introduce a notion of weighted…
We describe the $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics whose the $T$-tensor vanishes ($T$-condition) and the $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics that satisfy the $\sigma T$-condition $\sigma_hT^h_{ijk}=0$, where $\sigma_h=\frac{\partial \sigma}{\partial x^h}$ and…
