Finsler manifold; Landsberg manifold; scalar flag curvature; sectional flag curvature; Cartan tensor
Summary:
In this paper we study some rigidity properties for Finsler manifolds of sectional flag curvature. We prove that any Landsberg manifold of non-zero sectional flag curvature and any closed Finsler manifold of negative sectional flag curvature must be Riemannian.
