| On Some Non-Riemannian Quantities in Finsler Geometry In this paper we study several non-Riemannian quantities in Finsler
geometry. These non-Riemannian quantities play an important role in
understanding the geometric properties of Finsler metrics. In
particular, we study a new non-Riemannian quantity defined by the
S-curvature. We show some relationships among the flag curvature,
the S-curvature, and the new non-Riemannian quantity.

| Randers Metrics of Constant Scalar Curvature Randers metrics are a special class of Finsler metrics. Every Randers
metric can be expressed in terms of a Riemannian metric and a vector
field via Zermelo navigation.
In this paper, we show that a Randers metric has constant scalar
curvature if the Riemannian metric has constant scalar curvature and
the vector field is homothetic.

| A Note on Randers Metrics of Scalar Flag Curvature Some families of Randers metrics of scalar flag curvature are
studied in this paper. Explicit examples that are neither locally
projectively flat nor of isotropic $S$-curvature are given. Certain
Randers metrics with Einstein $\alpha$ are considered and proved to
be complex. Three dimensional Randers manifolds, with $\alpha$
having constant scalar curvature, are studied.

| Projectively Flat Fourth Root Finsler Metrics In this paper, we study locally projectively flat fourth root
Finsler metrics and their generalized metrics. We prove that if they
are irreducible, then they must be locally Minkowskian.

| On Projectively Flat $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics The solutions to Hilbert's Fourth Problem in the regular case
are projectively flat Finsler metrics. In this paper,
we consider the so-called $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics defined by a
Riemannian metric $\alpha$ and a $1$-form $\beta$, and find a
necessary and sufficient condition for such metrics to be projectively
flat in dimension $n \geq 3$.

| On Strongly Convex Indicatrices in Minkowski Geometry The geometry of indicatrices is the foundation of Minkowski geometry.
A strongly convex indicatrix in a vector space is a strongly convex
hypersurface. It admits a Riemannian metric and has a distinguished
invariant---(Cartan) torsion. We prove the existence of non-trivial
strongly convex indicatrices with vanishing mean torsion and discuss
the relationship between the mean torsion and the Riemannian curvature
tensor for indicatrices of Randers type.
