Some remarks on Einstein-Randers metrics
Abstract
In this essay, we study the sufficient and necessary conditions for a Randers metrc to be of constant Ricci curvature without the restriction of strong convexity (regularity). The classification result for the case is provided, which is similar to the famous Bao-Robles-Shen's result for strongly convex Randers metrics (). Based on some famous Einstein-Lorentz metrics in General Relativity, such as Minkowski metric, Sitter metric, anti de Sitter metric, Schwarzschild metric, Kerr metric, C-metric, Kasner metric, Levi-Civita metric, Cartor-Novotn\'{y}-Horsk\'{y} metric, etc., many non-regular Einstein-Randers metrics are constructed. Besides, we find that the case is very distinctive. These metrics will be called singular Randers metrics or parabolic Finsler metrics since their indicatrixs are parabolic hypersurface. A preliminary discussion for such metrics is provided.
