On a projective class of Finsler metrics with orthogonal invariance (Q2363178)

The authors study a class of Finsler metrics, called generalized Douglas-Weyl (GDW) metrics, which induces Douglas metrics and Weyl metrics. They find a necessary and sufficient condition for an orthogonally invariant Finsler metric to be a GDW-metric. As its application, they show that a certain class of Finsler metrics with orthogonal invariance are Douglas metrics if they are GDW-metrics. They generalize a theorem previously only known for Weyl metrics.
