An action of a Lie group $G$ on a smooth manifold $M$ is called cohomogeneity one if the orbit space ${M}/{G}\;$ is of dimension 1. A Finsler metric $F$ on $M$ is called invariant if $F$ is invariant under the action of $G$. In this paper, we study invariant Randers metrics on cohomogeneity one manifolds. We first give a sufficient and necessary condition for the existence of invariant Randers metrics on cohomogeneity one manifolds. Then we obtain some results on invariant Killing vector fields on the cohomogeneity one manifolds and use them to deduce some sufficient and necessary conditions for a cohomogeneity one Randers metric to be Einstein.
Randers metrics are a special class of Finsler metrics. Every Randers metric can be expressed in terms of a Riemannian metric and a vector field via Zermelo navigation. In this paper, we show that a Randers metric has constant scalar curvature if the Riemannian metric has constant scalar curvature and the vector field is homothetic
Some families of Randers metrics of scalar flag curvature are studied in this paper. Explicit examples that are neither locally projectively flat nor of isotropic $S$-curvature are given. Certain Randers metrics with Einstein $\alpha $ are considered and proved to be complex. Three dimensional Randers manifolds, with $\alpha $ having constant scalar curvature, are studied.
