We show how geodesics, Jacobi vector fields, and flag curvature of a Finsler metric behave under Zermelo deformation with respect to a Killing vector field. We also show that Zermelo deformation with respect to a Killing vector field of a locally symmetric Finsler metric is also locally symmetric.

Keywords: Finsler, Zermelo deformation, Killing vector fields, Jacobi fields, curvature, symmetric spaces.

Figure 1.  The unit ball of $\tilde F$ (dashed line) is the $v$-translation of that of $F$ (bold line). If a vector $J$ is tangent to the unit ball of $ F$ at $\xi$, it is tangent to the unit ball of $ \tilde F$ at $\xi + v$
