AbstractWe investigate the structure of a Finsler manifold of nonnegative weighted Ricci curvature including a straight line, and extend the classical Cheeger–Gromoll–Lichnerowicz Splitting Theorem. Such a space admits a diffeomorphic, measure-preserving splitting in general. As for a special class of Berwald spaces, we can perform the isometric splitting in the sense that there is a one-parameter family of isometries generated from the gradient vector field of the Busemann function. A Betti number estimate is also given for Berwald spaces.

We generalize Calabi-Yau’s linear volume growth theorem to Finsler manifold with the weighted Ricci curvature bounded below by a negative function and show that such a manifold must have infinite volume.

Let ( M , F , d μ ) be a Finsler manifold with the Ricci curvature bounded below by a positive number and constant S-curvature. We prove that, if the first eigenvalue of the Finsler–Laplacian attains its lower bound, then M is isometric to a Finsler sphere. Moreover, we establish a comparison result on the Hessian trace of the distance function.
