1 Introduction

Let 119872119899 be an 119899-dimensional differentiable manifold and119879119872119899 be its tangent bundle The manifold 119872119899 is covered

by neighborhoods (119880) in each 119880 of which we have a localcoordinate system (119909119894) A tangent vector at a point 119909 = (119909119894)of 119880 is written as 119910119894(120597120597119909119894)119909 and we have a local coordinatesystem (119909119894 119910119894) of 119879119872119899 over 119880

In paper [1] let 119865119899 (119899 ge 1) be an 119899-dimensional Finslerspace with metric function 119871(119909 119910) There are five kinds offunction 119871(119909 119910) There are five kinds of torsion tensors in thetheory of Finsler space based on Cartonrsquos connection out ofwhich

119894and v-covariant differentiation denoted as |119894

An 119899 (119899 ge 3)-dimensional Finsler space 119865119899 is said to be asemi-119862-reducible Finsler space whose Cartanrsquos tensor 119862

if scalars 119901 and 119902 are constants 119865119899 is said to be 119862-reducibleFinsler space with constants coefficients

A Special semi-119862-reducible Finsler space has been intro-duced by Ikeda [2] as follows

An 119899 (119899 ge 3)-dimensional Finsler space 119865119899 is said to be aSpecial semi-119862-reducible Finsler space (in short we call SSR-Finsler space) [1 2] whose ℎ (ℎ])-torsion tensor119862

Izumi ([4 5]) introduced 119875lowast-Finsler space in which 119875119894119895119896

is of the form

119875119894119895119896= 120582119862119894119895119896 (6)

where 120582 is the scalar homogeneous function on 119879119872 of zerodegree in 119910119894 In 119875-reducible Finsler space the tensor 119875

where 119869119894= 119862119894|0= 119862119894|119895119910119894 A Finsler space with 119875

119894119895119896= 0 is

called a Landsbergs space [9] If 119862119894119895119896|ℎ

Rund [11] introduced a special form of torsion tensor 119875119894119895119896

as follows

119875119894119895119896= 120582119862119894119895119896+ 119886119894ℎ119895119896+ 119886119895ℎ119896119894+ 119886119896ℎ119894119895 (8)

where120582 = 120582(119909 119910) is a scalar homogeneous function on119879119872ofdegree 1 and 119886

119894= 119886119894(119909) is a homogeneous function of degree

0 with respect to 119910119894 He then studied some properties of 119865119899satisfying (8) The present author introduced a more generalformof (8) and studies some properties of119865119899 satisfying it [12]

We quote the following lemmas which will be used in thepresent paper

Lemma 1 (see [6]) If the curvature tensor119875119894119895119896

of a119862-reducibleFinsler space vanishes then the space vanishes and then thespace is Berwaldrsquos affinely connected space

Lemma 2 (see [13]) A Finsler space 119865119899is locally Minkowskian

if h-curvature tensor 119877ℎ119894119895119896= 0 and 119862

119894119895119896|ℎ= 0

Definition 3 (see [1]) A Finsler connection FΓ is defined astried (119865119894

119895119896(119909 119910) 119881

which are components of a tensor field of (1 2)-type Thetensor 119863 of component 119863119894

119895is called deflection tensor of FΓ

119895and 119910119903119881119894

mean the tangent space at 119909 isin 119872) and by 119879119872 0 (we meanthe slit tangent bundle of119872)

A Finsler metric on119872 is a function 119871 119879119872 rarr [0infin)

which has the following properties(i) 119871 is119862infin 119900119899 119879119872 0

Corollary 4 A Landsbergs space satisfying (18) is a Specialsemi-119862-reducible Finsler space

Since for 119865119899 to be Landsberg space 119875119894119895119896ℎ= 0 therefore from

Lemma 1 and Corollary 4

Corollary 5 A Landsbergs space satisfying (18) is Berwaldrsquosaffinely connected space if 119861 = 0

In view of Lemma 2 and Corollary 5 one has the following

Corollary 6 If Landsbergs space satisfying (18) has vanishingh-curvature tensor that is 119877

From (36) it follows that 119865119899 is a semi-119862-reducible Finslerspace if it is a weakly Landsberg space

Therefore we have the following

Lemma 1 (see [6]) If the curvature tensor119875119894119895119896

From (36) it follows that 119865119899 is a semi-119862-reducible Finslerspace if it is a weakly Landsberg space

Therefore we have the following

Theorem 9 Let a Finsler space 119865119899 satisfying (18) be a stretchspace then it is a Special semi-119862-reducible Finsler space if it isa weakly Landsberg space

The notation of stretch curvature denoted by Σℎ119894119895119896

was intro-duced byBerwald as generalization of Landsberg curvature [10]in which

Σℎ119894119895119896

fl 2 [119871ℎ119894119895|119896minus 119871ℎ119894119896|119895] (29)

A Finsler space is said to be stretch space if Σℎ119894119895119896= 0

From (36) it follows that 119865119899 is a semi-119862-reducible Finslerspace if it is a weakly Landsberg space

Therefore we have the following

Theorem 9 Let a Finsler space 119865119899 satisfying (18) be a stretchspace then it is a Special semi-119862-reducible Finsler space if it isa weakly Landsberg space

From (36) it follows that 119865119899 is a semi-119862-reducible Finslerspace if it is a weakly Landsberg space

Therefore we have the following

Theorem 9 Let a Finsler space 119865119899 satisfying (18) be a stretchspace then it is a Special semi-119862-reducible Finsler space if it isa weakly Landsberg space

Five kinds of torsion tensors [17] are as follows
