Chapter Chapter 13 in Differential Geometry of Spray and Finsler Spaces, 2001, pp 197-220 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract There are two important projective invariants of sprays and Finsler metrics. One is a non-Riemannian projective invariant constructed from the Berwald curvature. The other is a Riemannian projective invariant constructed from the Riemann curvature. In this chapter, we will discuss these two projective invariants.
