Authors: BANKTESHWAR TIWARI, GHANASHYAM KR. PRAJAPATI

Abstract: In the present paper, we consider generalized Kropina change of $m$th root Finsler metrics and prove that every generalized Kropina change of $m$th root Finsler metrics with isotropic Berwald curvature, isotropic mean Berwald curvature, relatively isotropic Landsberg curvature, and relatively isotropic mean Landsberg curvature reduces to the Berwald metric, weakly Berwald metric, Landsberg metric, and weakly Landsberg metric, respectively. We also show that every generalized Kropina change of $m$th root Finsler metrics with almost vanishing $\textbf{H}$-curvature has vanishing $\textbf{H}$-curvature.

Keywords: Finsler space, Kropina metrics, $m$th root metrics, Berwald curvature, Landsberg curvature, $\textbf{H}$-curvature
