Abstract

In this paper, we find a new non-Riemannian quantity for (α, β)-metrics that is closely related to the S-curvature. We call it the -curvature. Then, we show that an (α, β)-metric is Riemannian if and only if =0. For a Randers metric, we find the relation between S-curvature and S-curvature.
