In this paper, we introduce the weighted projective Ricci curvature as an extension of projective Ricci curvature introduced by Z. Shen. We characterize the class of Randers metrics of weighted projective Ricci flat curvature. We find the…

In this paper, we study the Randers metrics of weakly isotropic scalar curvature. We prove that a Randers metric of weakly isotropic scalar curvature must be of isotropic $S$-curvature. Further, we prove that a conformally flat Randers…

In this paper, we study the reversibility of Riemann curvature and Ricci curvature for the Matsumoto metric and prove three global results. First, we prove that a Matsumoto metric is R-reversible if and only if it is R-quadratic. Then we…

The notion of the Ricci curvature is defined for sprays on a manifold. With a volume form on a manifold, every spray can be deformed to a projective spray. The Ricci curvature of a projective spray is called the projective Ricci curvature.…

Here, using the projectively invariant pseudo-distance and Schwarzian derivative, it is shown that every connected complete Finsler space of the constant negative Ricci scalar is reversible. In particular, every complete Randers metric of…

Weighted Ricci curvatures with various weights of the S-curvature have played an important role in Finsler geometry, especially in the control of volumes of Finsler manifolds. In this paper, we study general weighted Ricci curvatures, and…

A Finsler space is called Ricci-quadratic if its Ricci curvature $Ric(x,y)$ is quadratic in $y$. It is called a Berwald space if its Chern connection defines a linear connection directly on the underlying manifold $M$. In this article, we…

In this paper, we study Kropina metrics with isotropic scalar curvature. First, we obtain the expressions of Ricci curvature tensor and scalar curvature. Then, we characterize the Kropina metrics with isotropic scalar curvature on by tensor…

For homogeneous metrics on the spaces of the title it is shown that the Ricci flow can move a metric of stricly positive sectional curvature to one with some negative sectional curvature and one of positive definite Ricci tensor to one with…

We introduce the weighted orthogonal Ricci curvature -- a two-parameter version of Ni--Zheng's orthogonal Ricci curvature. This curvature serves as a very natural object in the study of the relationship between the Ricci curvature(s) and…

We prove an existence result for the prescribed Ricci curvature equation for certain doubly warped product metrics on $\mathbb{S}^{d_1+1}\times \mathbb{S}^{d_2}$, where $d_i \geq 2$. If $T$ is a metric satisfying certain curvature…

In this paper, we study Randers metrics and find a condition on Ricci tensor of these metrics to be Berwaldian. This generalize Shen's Theorem which says: every R-{\deg}at complete Randers metric is locally Minkowskian. Then we find a…

The problem of defining correctly geometric objects such as the curvature is a hard one in discrete geometry. In 2009, Ollivier defined a notion of curvature applicable to a wide category of measured metric spaces, in particular to graphs.…

We prove a canonical variation-type result for submersion metrics with positive intermediate Ricci curvatures. This can then be used in conjunction with surgery techniques to establish the existence of metrics with positive intermediate…

In this paper, we bend a closed Riemannian manifold in the conformal class, through solving a fully nonlinear equation. As a result, we prove that each metric of quasi-negative Ricci curvature is conformal to a metric with negative Ricci…

In this paper we announce the following result: ``Every manifold of dimension $\ge3$ admits a complete negatively Ricci curved metric.'' Furthermore we describe some sharper results and sketch proofs.

The study of curvature properties of homogeneous Finsler spaces with $(\alpha, \beta)$-metrics is one of the central problems in Riemann-Finsler geometry. In this paper, we consider homogeneous Finsler spaces with square metric and Randers…

The note describes the cones in the Euclidean space admitting isotonic metric projection with respect to the coordinate-wise ordering. As a consequence it is showed that the metric projection onto the regression cone (the cone defined by…

We define the Ricci curvature, as a measure, for certain singular torsion-free connections on the tangent bundle of a manifold. The definition uses an integral formula and vector-valued half-densities. We give relevant examples in which the…

We define the Ricci curvature of Markov chains on metric spaces as a local contraction coefficient of the random walk acting on the space of probability measures equipped with a Wasserstein transportation distance. For Brownian motion on a…
