摘  要:The topic of this talk is driven by two motivations. The first motivation is from S. S. Chern’s question, i.e., whether or not every smooth manifold admits an Einstein Finsler metric with Ricci-constant. We use a Killing form with non-zero constant length on a Riemannian manifold to construct a family of (α, β)-metrics and we find equations that characterize Einstein metrics among this family of (α, β)-metrics. The constructed Einstein (α, β)-metrics may be Einstein Randers metrics or Ricci-flat (α, β)-metrics of Randers type with singularity, or Einstein almost regular (α, β)-metrics. The second motivation is from the following question: is there any Einstein-Finsler metric which is not of isotropic flag curvature on three dimensional manifolds? We have found Einstein (α, β)-metrics on S3 with Ric = 2F, Ric = 0 and Ric = −2F, respectively, but none of them are of constant flag curvature. Our results answer partly S. S. Chern’s question.
