Abstract:Finsler metrics on an open subset in ${R}^n$ with straight geodesics are said to be projective. It is known that the flag curvature of any projective Finsler metric is a scalar function of tangent vectors (the flag curvature must be a constant if it is Riemannian). In this paper, we discuss the classification problem on projective Finsler metrics of constant flag curvature. We express them by a Taylor expansion or an algebraic formula. Many examples constructed in this paper can be used as models in Finsler geometry.
