We classify those of projectively flat in dimension $n\\geq3$ by a special class of deformations. The results show that the projective flatness of such kind of Finsler metrics always arises from that of some Riemannian metric.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-09-05T01:57:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53B40", "53C60" ], "keywords": [ "hilberts fourth problem", "deformations", "riemannian metric", "special class", "finsler metrics" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1209.0845Y" } } }
