On conformally flat \((\alpha, \beta)\)-metrics with constant flag curvature (Q2820743)

A Finsler metric which is conformally related to a Minkowski metric is said to be conformally flat Finsler metric. In this paper the authors study conformally flat \((\alpha,\beta)\)-metrics with constant flag curvature, where \(\alpha\) is a Riemannian metric and \(\beta\) is a \(1\)-form on a smooth manifold \(M\). The main result of the paper is the following: ``Let \(F=\alpha\,\phi(s),\, s = \beta/\alpha\), be a conformally flat \((\alpha,\beta)\)-metric on a manifold \(M\) of dimension \(n \geq 3\). If \(F\) is of constant flag curvature, then it is either a locally Minkowski metric or a Riemannian metric''.
