In this paper we study some rigidity theorems on Finsler manifolds. Firstly we characterize Finsler metrics with relatively isotropic mean Landsberg curvature. It is shown that Finsler metrics with non-zero constant relatively isotropic Lands-berg curvature (resp. mean Landsberg curvature) under the conditions that the Finsler metrics are complete and the Cartan torsion (resp. mean Cartan torsion) are bounded must be Riemannian. Furthermore, a necessary condition for Finsler metrics with generalized relatively mean isotropic Landsberg curvature to be Riemn-nian are found. Secondly we consider generalized Landsberg metrics with non-zero sectional flag curvature. We prove that such kinds of Randers metrics must be Rie-mannian. We also prove that such kinds of Finsler metrics with non-zero relatively isotropic Landsberg curvature must be Riemannian. Thirdly we characterize gen-eralized L-reducible Finsler metrics. We investigate some necessary conditions that a generalized L-reducible Finsler metric is a Randers metric. Finally we consider compact Finsler manifolds with negative flag curvature. We obtain some rigidity re-sults that a compact Finsler manifold with negative flag curvature satisfying certain Riemann curvature condition must be a Riemannian manifold.
