Recently the third author studied horizontal Laplacians in real Finsler vector bundles and complex Finsler manifolds. In this paper, we introduce a class of g-natural metrics Ga,b on the tangent bundle of a Finsler manifold (M, F) which generalizes the associated Sasaki–Matsumoto metric and Miron metric. We obtain the Weitzenböck formula of the horizontal Laplacian associated to Ga,b, which is a second-order differential operator for general forms on tangent bundle. Using the horizontal Laplacian associated to Ga,b, we give some characterizations of certain objects which are geometric interest (e.g. scalar and vector fields which are horizontal covariant constant) on the tangent bundle. Furthermore, Killing vector fields associated to Ga,b are investigated.

Let [Formula: see text] be a strongly pseudoconvex compact complex Finsler manifold. We first introduce a class of [Formula: see text]-nature metric [Formula: see text] for the slit holomorphic tangent bundle [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text]. Then, we define the complex horizontal Laplacian [Formula: see text], and complex vertical Laplacian [Formula: see text], and obtain a precise relationship among [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and the Hodge–Laplace operator [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text]. As an application, we discuss the holomorphic Killing vector fields associated to [Formula: see text].

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the holomorphic sections of holomorphic Finsler bundles over both compact and non-compact complete complex manifolds. We also inquire into the holomorphic vector fields on compact and non-compact complete complex Finsler manifolds. We get vanishing theorems in each case according to different certain curvature conditions. This work can be considered as generalizations of the classical results on Kähler manifolds and hermitian bundles.

This chapter introduces tensor fields, covariant derivatives and the geodesic equation on a (pseudo-) Riemannian manifold. It discusses how symmetries of a general space-time can be found from the Killing equation, and how the existence of Killing vector fields is connected to global conservation laws.

We report off-shell Noether currents obtained from off-shell Noether potentials for first-order general relativity described by n-dimensional Palatini and Holst Lagrangians including the cosmological constant. These off-shell currents and potentials are achieved by using the corresponding Lagrangian and the off-shell Noether identities satisfied by diffeomorphisms generated by arbitrary vector fields, local SO(n) or SO(n−1,1) transformations, ‘improved diffeomorphisms’, and the ‘generalization of local translations’ of the orthonormal frame and the connection. A remarkable aspect of our approach is that we do not use Noether’s theorem in its direct form. By construction, the currents are off-shell conserved and lead naturally to the definition of off-shell Noether charges. We also study what we call the ‘half off-shell’ case for both Palatini and Holst Lagrangians. In particular, we find that the resulting diffeomorphism and local SO(3,1) or SO(4) off-shell Noether currents and potentials for the Holst Lagrangian generically depend on the Immirzi parameter, which holds even in the ‘half off-shell’ and on-shell cases. We also study Killing vector fields in the ‘half off-shell’ and on-shell cases. The current theoretical framework is illustrated for the ‘half off-shell’ case in static spherically symmetric and Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker spacetimes in four dimensions.
