Abstract

Let F = √α(α + β) be a conformally flat square-root (α; β)-metric on a manifold M of dimension n ≥ 3, where α = √aij(x)yiyj is a Riemannian metric and β = bi(x)yi is a 1-form on M. Suppose that F has relatively isotropic mean Landsberg curvature. We show that F reduces to a Riemannian
metric or a locally Minkowski metric.
