This paper contributes to the study of the Matsumoto metric F=alpha^2/beta, where the alpha is a Riemannian metric and the beta is a one form. It is shown that such a Matsumoto metric F is of scalar flag curvature if and only if F is projectively flat.

In this paper, the necessary and sufficient conditions for Matsumoto metrics $F=frac{alpha^2}{alpha-beta}$ to be Einstein are given. It is shown that if the length of $beta$ with respect to $alpha$ is constant, then the Matsumoto metric $F$ is an Ein stein metric if and only if $alpha$ is Ricci-flat and $beta$ is parallel with respect to $alpha$. A nontrivial example of Ricci flat Matsumoto metrics is given.

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.
If the flag curvature of a Finsler manifold reduces to sectional curvature, then locally either the Finsler metric is Riemannian, or the flag curvature is isotropic.
Recently, wind Riemannian structures (WRS) have been introduced as a generalization of Randers and Kropina metrics. They are constructed from the natural data for Zermelo navigation problem, namely, a Riemannian metric $g_R$ and a vector field $W$ (t he wind), where, now, the restriction of mild wind $g_R(W,W)<1$ is dropped. Here, the models of WRS spaceforms of constant flag curvature are determined. Indeed, the celebrated classification of Randers metrics of constant flag curvature by Bao, Robles and Shen, extended to the Kropina case in the works by Yoshikawa, Okubo and Sabau, can be used to obtain the local classification. For the global one, a suitable result on completeness for WRS yields the complete simply connected models. In particular, any of the local models in the Randers classification does admit an extension to a unique model of wind Riemannian structure, even if it cannot be extended as a complete Finslerian manifold. Thus, WRSs emerge as the natural framework for the analysis of Randers spaceforms and, prospectively, wind Finslerian structures would become important for other global problems too. For the sake of completeness, a brief overview about WRS (including a useful link with the conformal geometry of a class of relativistic spacetimes) is also provided.
In the first part of this paper, we consider the problem of fill-in of nonnegative scalar curvature (NNSC) metrics for a triple of Bartnik data $(Sigma,gamma,H)$. We prove that given a metric $gamma$ on $mathbf{S}^{n-1}$ ($3leq nleq 7$), $(mathbf{S}^ {n-1},gamma,H)$ admits no fill-in of NNSC metrics provided the prescribed mean curvature $H$ is large enough (Theorem ref{Thm: no fillin nonnegative scalar 2}). Moreover, we prove that if $gamma$ is a positive scalar curvature (PSC) metric isotopic to the standard metric on $mathbf{S}^{n-1}$, then the much weaker condition that the total mean curvature $int_{mathbf S^{n-1}}H,mathrm dmu_gamma$ is large enough rules out NNSC fill-ins, giving an partially affirmative answer to a conjecture by Gromov (see P.,23 in cite{Gromov4}). In the second part of this paper, we investigate the $theta$-invariant of Bartnik data and obtain some sufficient conditions for the existence of PSC fill-ins.
