Matsumoto metrics of constant flag curvature are trivial

M. Rafie-Rad, B. Rezaei

Published 2011-09-13, updated 2012-07-19Version 3

The local structure of Finsler metrics of constant flag curvature have been historically mysterious. It is proved that every Matsumoto metric of constant flag curvature on a manifold of dimension n \geq 3 is either Riemannian or locally Minkowskian.
