Abstract

This paper investigates a specific form of weighted Ricci curvature known as the quasi-Einstein metric. Two Finsler metrics, $F$ and $\tilde{F}$ are considered, which are generated by navigation representations $(h, W)$ and $(F, V)$, respectively, where $W$ represents a vector field, and $V$ represents a conformal vector field on the manifold $M$. The main focus is on identifying the necessary and sufficient condition for the Randers metric $F$ to qualify as a quasi-Einstein metric. Additionally; we establish the relationship between the curvatures of the given Finsler metrics $F$ and $\tilde{F}$.
