Naturally reductive $({\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2)$ metrics

Abstract

Let $F$ be a homogeneous $({\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2)$ metric on the reductive homogeneous manifold $G/H$. Firstly, we characterize the natural reductiveness of $F$ as a local $f$-product between naturally reductive Riemannian metrics. Secondly, we prove the equivalence among several properties of $F$ for its mean Berwald curvature and S-curvature. Finally, we find an explicit flag curvature formula when $F$ is naturally reductive.
