Non-Berwaldian Randers metrics of Douglas type on four-dimensional hypercomplex Lie groups

Abstract

In this paper we classify all non-Berwaldian Randers metrics of Douglas type arising from invariant hyper-Hermitian metrics on simply connected four-dimensional real Lie groups. Also, the formulas of the flag curvature are given and it is shown that, in some directions, the flag curvature of the Randers metrics and the sectional curvature of the hyper-Hermitian metrics have the same sign. © 2018, Springer-Verlag Italia S.r.l., part of Springer Nature.
