F is pointwinse projective toαif and only ifβsatisfies thefollowing equation Where (?)(y)=β(y)/1-|β|2,x(x)=1/1-|β|2,"|" denotes the covariant derivative with respcettoα.Furthermore , we discuss the conditions that F is Einstein metric under the assumption that F is pointwise projective toαand obtain the following Theorem.Theorem3.2 Assume that F is pointwise projective toαandαis anEinstein metric with Einstein constant (?) (that is , (?)(y) = (n -1)(?)α(y)2). Then Ric(y) =(n-1)λF(y)2 if and only ifWhereΩ=Φ|jyj=(?)l|k|jylykyj,ω=φ|jyj=x(|k|j)ykyj.Finally, we discuss the conditions that F is of constant flag curvature under the assumption that F is pointwise projective toαand obtain the following Theorem.Theorem 3.3 If F is pointwise projective toαandβsatisfies the following equationwhereμ= cons tan t. Then(i)Ifαis Ricci-flat ((?)=0),then F is an Einstein metric with Ric(y) = -(n - 1)μ2;(ii)Ifαis R-flat ((?)=0),then F is of constant curvature with R = -μ2.
