Zusammenfassung: | In this paper, we will give a complete classification of homogeneous Randers spaces with isotropic S-curvature and positive flag curvature. This results in a large class of Finsler spaces with non-constant positive flag curvature. At the final part of the paper, we prove a rigidity result asserting that a homogeneous Randers space with almost isotropic S-curvature and negative Ricci scalar must be Riemannian. |
