Chapter Chapter 10 in Differential Geometry of Spray and Finsler Spaces, 2001, pp 143-152 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Sprays induced by Finsler metrics are much more special. In this case, we have not only the fundamental tensor, but also the Cartan torsion and the Landsberg curvature. In this chapter, we will study the relationship among these quantities.
