Abstract

A Finsler space F n whose indicatrices are affine deformations of a smooth, convex, symmetrical hypersurface I 0 is an F n with 1-form metric (see L. Tamassy’s paper in this volume). If I 0 is also a rotation surface, then \({\tilde F^n}\) admits affine metrical connections \({\mathop \Gamma \limits^{am} (x)}\) (x) with nonvanishing curvature R ≠ 0. Does the converse hold (i.e., is I 0 always a rotation surface if R ≠ 0)?
