In this paper, a characteristic condition of the projectively flat Kropina metric is given. By it, we prove that a Kropina metric $F=alpha^2/beta$ with constant curvature $K$ and $|beta|_{alpha}=1$ is projectively flat if and only if $F$ is locally Minkowskian.

An $(alpha,beta)$-manifold $(M,F)$ is a Finsler manifold with the Finsler metric $F$ being defined by a Riemannian metric $alpha$ and $1$-form $beta$ on the manifold $M$. In this paper, we classify $n$-dimensional $(alpha,beta)$-manifolds (non-Randers type) which are positively complete and locally projectively flat. We show that the non-trivial class is that $M$ is homeomorphic to the $n$-sphere $S^n$ and $(S^n,F)$ is projectively related to a standard spherical Riemannian manifold, and then we obtain some special geometric properties on the geodesics and scalar flag curvature of $F$ on $S^n$, especially when $F$ is a metric of general square type.
In this paper, we consider a special class of singular Finsler metrics: $m$-Kropina metrics which are defined by a Riemannian metric and a $1$-form. We show that an $m$-Kropina metric ($m e -1$) of scalar flag curvature must be locally Minkowskian in dimension $nge 3$. We characterize by some PDEs a Kropina metric ($m=-1$) which is respectively of scalar flag curvature and locally projectively flat in dimension $nge 3$, and obtain some principles and approaches of constructing non-trivial examples of Kropina metrics of scalar flag curvature.
In this paper, it is proved that any conformal vector field is homothetic on a locally projectively flat $(alpha,beta)$-space of non-Randers type in dimension $nge 3$, and the local solutions of such a vector field are determined. While on a locally projectively flat Randers space, examples showthat the conformal vector fields are not necessarily homothetic.
We introduce a combinatorial method to construct indefinite Ricci-flat metrics on nice nilpotent Lie groups. We prove that every nilpotent Lie group of dimension $leq6$, every nice nilpotent Lie group of dimension $leq7$ and every two-step nilpotent Lie group attached to a graph admits such a metric. We construct infinite families of Ricci-flat nilmanifolds associated to parabolic nilradicals in the simple Lie groups ${rm SL}(n)$, ${rm SO}(p,q)$, ${rm Sp}(n,mathbb R)$. Most of these metrics are shown not to be flat.
In this work, we consider a class of Finsler metrics using the warped product notion introduced by Chen, S. and Zhao (2018), with another warping, one that is consistent with static spacetimes. We will give the PDE characterization for the proposed metrics to be Ricci-flat and explicitly construct two non-Riemannian examples.
