Abstract
Résumé

It is proved that a Randers metric $F = α + β$ on a manifold of dimension $n ⩾ 3$ is projective if and only if the Lie algebra of projective vector fields $p (M, F)$ has (locally) dimension $n (n + 2)$ . This can be regarded as an analogue of the corresponding result in Riemannian geometry.

On démontre quʼune métrique de Randers $F = α + β$ sur une variété de dimension $n ⩾ 3$ est projective si et seulement si lʼalgèbre de Lie des champs de vecteurs projectifs $p (M, F)$ est (localement) de dimension $n (n + 2)$ . Ceci peut être considéré comme un analogue du résultat correspondant en géométrie riemannienne.
