On n-flat Finsler spaces (Q1070543)

An n-dimensional Finsler space M endowed with fundamental function L(x,y), metric tensor \(g_{ij}\) and TMA-connection due to \textit{H. Yasuda} [Tensor, New Ser. 40, 151-158 (1983; Zbl 0531.53024)] is said to be an n-flat Finsler space if the (v)h-torsion tensor \(R^ i_ k\) vanishes. The authors study n-flat Finsler spaces and \({}^*P\)-Finsler spaces [\textit{M. Hashiguchi}, Rep. Fac. Sci., Kagoshima Univ., Math. Phys. Chem. 4, 1-5 (1971; Zbl 0351.53018)], and obtain some conditions for these spaces to be of constant curvature. For example, an n-flat \({}^*P\)-Finsler space M of dimension n \((n>3)\) is of constant curvature.
