Berwald spaces of bounded curvature are Riemannian

Abstract

We prove that Berwald spaces whose flag curvature is nowhere vanishing are in fact Riemannian spaces. This means that any Berwald space with flag curvature bounded below by a positive number must be also Riemannian. This rigidity result shows the importance of non-Riemannian examples when imposing flag curvature bounds on Finsler spaces.
