Homogeneous Einstein-Randers spaces of negative Ricci curvature (Q1032846)

This paper studies homogeneous Einstein-Randers spaces of negative Ricci curvature. A Randers space is a deformation of a Riemannian space by a linear l-form \(\beta\) such that \(a(\beta, \beta) <1\). An Einstein space and Ricci scalar of Finsler geometry are the analogues in Riemannian geometry. The main results of this paper is as follows: A homogeneous Einstein-Randers space with negative Ricci curvature is Riemannian. This leads to the open problem: Is a homogeneous Einstein Finsler space with negative Ricci curvature also Riemannian? The proof of the theorem is described with Lie algebra objects without making use of local coordinates. These geometrical properties of the structure is very interesting.
