The local structure of Finsler metrics of constant flag curvature have been historically mysterious. It is proved that every Matsumoto metric of constant flag curvature on a manifold of dimension n \geq 3 is either Riemannian or locally…

We give the explicit formulas of the flag curvatures of left invariant Matsumoto and Kropina metrics of Berwald type. We can see these formulas are different from previous results given recently. Using these formulas, we prove that at any…

In this paper, we prove a global rigidity theorem for negatively curved Finsler metrics on a compact manifold of dimension n>2. We show that for such a Finsler manifold, if the flag curvature is a scalar function on the tangent bundle, then…

For Lorentzian 2-manifolds $(\Sigma_1,g_1)$ and $(\Sigma_2,g_2)$ we consider the two product para-K\"ahler structures $(G^{\epsilon},J,\Omega^{\epsilon})$ defined on the product four manifold $\Sigma_1\times\Sigma_2$, with $\epsilon=\pm 1$.…

We define two types of the $\alpha$-Farey maps $F_{\alpha}$ and $F_{\alpha, \flat}$ for $0 < \alpha < \tfrac{1}{2}$, which were previously defined only for $\tfrac{1}{2} \le \alpha \le 1$ by R.~Natsui (2004). Then, for each $0 < \alpha <…
