| contents | In the paper we investigate locally symmetric polynomial metrics in special cases of Riemannian and Finslerian surfaces. The Riemannian case will be presented by a collection of basic results (regularity of second root metrics) and formulas up to Gauss curvature. In case of Finslerian surfaces we formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for a locally symmetric fourth root metric in 2D to be positive definite. They are given in terms of the coefficients of the polynomial metric to make checking the positive definiteness as simple and direct as possible. Explicit examples are also presented. The situation is more complicated in case of spaces of dimension more than two. Some necessary conditions and an explicit example are given for a positive definite locally symmetric polynomial metric in 3D. Computations are supported by the MAPLE mathematics software (LinearAlgebra). |
