Abstract

This paper investigates a generalized Kropina metric featuring a specific π\pi-form. Start with a Finsler manifold (M,F)(M,F) admits a concurrent π\pi-vector field φ\overline{\varphi}, then, examine the ϕ\phi-concurrent generalized Kropina change defined by F^=Fm+1Φm,Φm>0\widehat{F}=\frac{F^{m+1}}{\Phi^{m}},\,\, \Phi^{m}>0, where Φ\Phi represents the corresponding 11-form. We investigate the fundamental geometric objects associated with F^\widehat{F} in an intrinsic manner after adopting this modification and present an example of a Finsler metric that admits a concurrent vector field along with F^\widehat{F}. Also, we prove that the geodesic sprays of FF and F^\widehat{F} can never be projectively related. Moreover, we show φ\overline{\varphi} is not concurrent with respect to F^\widehat{F}. Eventhough, we give a sufficient condition for φ\overline{\varphi} to be concurrent with respect to F^\widehat{F}. Finally, we prove that the ϕ\phi-concurrent generalized Kropina change (FF^F \longrightarrow \widehat{F}) preserves the almost rational property of the initial Finsler metric F{F}.
