AbstractRecently, we developed a method for the study of holonomy properties of non-Riemannian Finsler manifolds and obtained that the holonomy group cannot be a compact Lie group if the Finsler manifold of dimension >2 has non-zero constant flag curvature. The purpose of this paper is to move further, exploring the holonomy properties of projectively flat Finsler manifolds of non-zero constant flag curvature. We prove in particular that projectively flat Randers and Bryant–Shen manifolds of non-zero constant flag curvature have infinite dimensional holonomy group.

We introduce almost contact and cosymplectic Finsler manifolds. Then, we characterize almost contact Randers metrics. It is proved that a cosymplectic Finsler manifold of constant flag curvature must have vanishing flag curvature. We prove that every cosymplectic Finsler manifold is a Landsberg space, under a mild condition. Finally, we show that a cosymplectic Finsler manifold is a Douglas space if and only if it is a Berwald space.

By a generalization of the method developed by Gluck and Warner to characterize the oriented great circle fibrations of the three-sphere, we give, for any compact connected semisimple Lie group G, a general procedure to obtain the continuous fibrations of G by Weyl-oriented affine maximal tori, find conditions for smoothness and provide infinite dimensional spaces of concrete examples.

AbstractWe study an important class of Finsler metrics, namely, Randers metrics. We classify Randers metrics of scalar flag curvature whose S-curvatures are isotropic. This class of Randers metrics contains all projectively flat Randers metrics with isotropic S-curvature and Randers metrics of constant flag curvature.

Abstract In this paper, we prove that on every Finsler manifold {(M,F)} with reversibility λ and flag curvature K satisfying {(\frac{\lambda}{\lambda+1})^{2}<K\leq 1} , there exist {[\frac{\dim M+1}{2}]} closed geodesics. If the number of closed geodesics is finite, then there exist {[\frac{\dim M}{2}]} non-hyperbolic closed geodesics. Moreover, there are three closed geodesics on {(M,F)} satisfying the above pinching condition when {\dim M=3} .

We obtain Cheng type inequality, Cheeger type inequality, Faber–Krahn type inequality and McKean type inequality of [Formula: see text]-Laplacian on a Finsler manifold. These generalize the corresponding theorems in Riemannian geometry and sharpen some results in recent literatures. Moreover, for a complete noncompact Finsler manifold with negative constant flag curvature and vanishing [Formula: see text] curvature, the first eigenvalue is calculated.
