In this paper, we study a class of Finsler metrics called general (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-metrics, which are defined by a Riemannian metric ${\alpha}$ and a 1-form ${\beta}$. We show that every general (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-metric with isotropic Berwald curvature is either a Berwald metric or a Randers metric. Moreover, a lot of new isotropic Berwald general (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-metrics are constructed explicitly.

In a Finsler space, we introduce a special $(\alpha,\beta)$-metric L satisfying $L^2(\alpha,\beta) = c_1\alpha^2 + 2c_2\alpha\beta + c_3\beta^2$, which $c_i$ are constants. We investigate the Berwald connection in a Finsler space with this special $\alpha,\beta)$-metric.

In this paper, we study general (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$) Finsler metrics and prove that every general (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$)-metric is semi C-reducible but not C2-like. As a consequence of this result we prove that every general (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$)-metric satisfying the Ricci flow equation is Einstein.

General (${\alpha},\;{\beta}$)-metrics form a rich and important class of Finsler metrics. In this paper, we obtain a differential equation which characterizes a general (${\alpha},\;{\beta}$)-metric with isotropic E-curvature, under a certain condition. We also solve the equation in a particular case.

General (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-metrics form a rich class of Finsler metrics. They include many important Finsler metrics, such as Randers metrics, square metrics and spherically symmetric metrics. In this paper, we find equations which are necessary and sufficient conditions for such Finsler metric to be locally projectively flat. By solving these equations, we obtain all of locally projectively flat general (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-metrics under certain condition. Finally, we manufacture explicitly new locally projectively flat Finsler metrics.

In this paper, we give an equivalent characterization for general (α, β)-metrics with reversible geodesics when the dimension of the manifold is greater than 2.
