Abstract: In this paper, we consider a special class of singular Finsler metrics: $m$-Kropina metrics which are defined by a Riemannian metric and a $1$-form. We show that an $m$-Kropina metric ($me-1$) of scalar flag curvature must be locally Minkowskian in dimension $nge3$. We characterize by some PDEs a Kropina metric ($m=-1$) which is respectively of scalar flag curvature and locally projectively flat in dimension $nge3$, and obtain some principles and approaches of constructing non-trivial examples of Kropina metrics of scalar flag curvature.
