The explicit construction of projectively Ricci-flat Finsler metrics on double hemispheres

Authors: Xiaohuan Mo and Hongzhen Zhang

Abstract:

We give an explicit construction of an $(n+1)$-parameter family of projectively Ricci-flat Finsler metrics on an $n$-dimensional double hemisphere by using the spherical harmonics of degree 1. We also show that all locally projectively flat Randers metrics with isotropic $S$-curvature on the standard unit sphere are projectively Ricci-flat.

Keywords: Finsler metric, projectively Ricci-flat, Douglas—Randers metric, spherical harmonic, double hemisphere
