Abstract :
In this paper, we obtain the formula of scalar curvature for Kropina metrics. Then we prove that a Kropina metric of isotropic scalar curvature must be of isotropic S-curvature. We also focus on Yamabe problem in Kropina metrics and give a negative answer to the Yamabe problem on Kropina metrics with isotropic S-curvature. It turns out that C-reducible metrics do not satisfy Yamabe problem.
