The holonomy group of locally projectively flat Randers two-manifolds of constant curvature (Q1995636)

The authors of the above paper investigate the holonomy structure of the most accessible and demonstrative two-dimensional Finsler surfaces, the Randers surfaces. Randers metrics can be considered as the solutions of the Zermelo navigation problem. Further they give the classification of the holonomy groups of locally projectively flat Randers two-dimensional manifolds of constant curvature. Finally they prove that the holonomy group of a simply connected non-Riemannian projectively flat Finsler two-dimenional manifold of constant non-zero flag curvature is maximal and isomorphic to the orientation preserving diffeomorphism group of the circle.
