Abstract

Let R be the hh-curvature associated with the Chern connection or the Cartan connection. Adopting the pulled-back tangent bundle approach to the Finslerian Geometry, an intrinsic characterization of R-Einstein metrics is given. Finslerian metrics which are locally conformally R-Einstein are classified
