 This paper considered about the β-Change of Finsler metric L given by L*= f(L, β), where f is any positively homogeneous function of degree one in L and β and obtained the β-Change by Finsler metric of C-reducible Finsler spaces. Also further obtained the condition that a C-reducible Finsler space is transformed to a C-reducible Finsler space by a β-change of Finsler metric.

Using Chern's method of transgression, the Euler class of a compact orientable Riemann–Finsler space is represented by polynomials in the connection and curvature matrices of a torsion-free connection. When using the Chern connection (and hence the Christoffel–Levi–Civita connection in the Riemannian case), this result extends the Gauss–Bonnet formula of Bao and Chern to Finsler spaces whose indicatrices need not have constant volume.

Abstract We study the interaction between the g.o. property and certain flag curvature conditions. A Finsler manifold is called g.o. if each constant speed geodesic is the orbit of a one-parameter subgroup. Besides the non-negatively curved condition, we also consider the condition (FP) for the flag curvature, i.e. in any flag we find a flag pole such that the flag curvature is positive. By our main theorem, if a g.o. Finsler space (M, F) has non-negative flag curvature and satisfies (FP), then M is compact. If M = G/H where G has a compact Lie algebra, then the rank inequality rk 𝔤 ≤ rk 𝔥+1 holds. As an application,we prove that any even-dimensional g.o. Finsler space which has non-negative flag curvature and satisfies (FP) is a smooth coset space admitting a positively curved homogeneous Riemannian or Finsler metric.

The study of curvature properties of homogeneous Finsler spaces with [Formula: see text]-metrics is one of the central problems in Riemann–Finsler geometry. In this paper, the existence of invariant vector fields on a homogeneous Finsler space with square metric is proved. Further, an explicit formula for [Formula: see text]-curvature of a homogeneous Finsler space with square metric is established. Finally, using the formula of [Formula: see text]-curvature, the mean Berwald curvature of aforesaid [Formula: see text]-metric is calculated.

The study of curvature properties of homogeneous Finsler spaces with $(\alpha, \beta)$-metrics is one of the central problems in Riemann-Finsler geometry. In the present paper, the existence of invariant vector fields on a homogeneous Finsler space with Randers changed square metric has been proved. Further, an explicit formula for $S$-curvature of Randers changed square metric has been established. Finally, using the formula of $S$-curvature, the mean Berwald curvature of afore said $(\alpha, \beta)$-metric has been calculated.

Mechanics Concepts

Finsler differential geometry enables enriched mathematical and physical descriptions of the mechanics of materials with microstructure. The first propositions for Finsler geometry in solid mechanics emerged some six decades ago. Ideas set forth in these early works are reviewed, along with subsequent literature culminating in contemporary theories of Finsler-geometric continuum mechanics. Concepts unique to generalized Finsler spaces, in the context of continuum mechanical applications, are highlighted. Capabilities afforded by physical models in generalized Finsler spaces are contrasted with those of standard approaches in affinely connected spaces. Theory and several examples of reduced dimensionality are reported for boundary value problems of fracture and phase transformations, showing how simultaneously novel, physical, and pragmatic model predictions can be obtained from Finsler-type continuum field theory. Lastly, the modern theory is newly applied to describe nonlinear elastic ferromagnetic solids in the magnetically saturated state. A variational approach is used to derive Euler–Lagrange equations for macroscopic and microscopic, i.e., respective electromechanical and electronic continuum, equilibrium states. For a representative generalized Finsler metric depending on material symmetry, augmented conservation laws of macroscopic momentum and electronic spin angular momentum naturally emerge.

To construct the geometry in nonflat spaces in order to understand nature has great importance in terms of applied science. Finsler geometry allows accurate modeling and describing ability for asymmetric structures in this application area. In this paper, two-dimensional Finsler space metric function is obtained for Weibull distribution which is used in many applications in this area such as wind speed modeling. The metric definition for two-parameter Weibull probability density function which has shape (k) and scale (c) parameters in two-dimensional Finsler space is realized using a different approach by Finsler geometry. In addition, new probability and cumulative probability density functions based on Finsler geometry are proposed which can be used in many real world applications. For future studies, it is aimed at proposing more accurate models by using this novel approach than the models which have two-parameter Weibull probability density function, especially used for determination of wind energy potential of a region.

The present paper deals with an intrinsic investigation of the notion of a parallel π-vector field on the pullback bundle of a Finsler manifold (M, L). The effect of the existence of a parallel π-vector field on some important special Finsler spaces is studied. An intrinsic investigation of a particular β-change, namely the energy β-change ([Formula: see text]with[Formula: see text] being a parallel π-vector field), is established. The relation between the two Barthel connections Γ and [Formula: see text], corresponding to this change, is found. This relation, together with the fact that the Cartan and the Barthel connections have the same horizontal and vertical projectors, enable us to study the energy β-change of the fundamental linear connection in Finsler geometry: The Cartan connection, the Berwald connection, the Chern connection and the Hashiguchi connection. Moreover, the change of their curvature tensors is concluded. It should be pointed out that the present work is formulated in a prospective modern coordinate-free form.

In this paper, we find a condition under which a Finsler space with Randers change of mth-root metric is projectively related to a mth-root metric and also we find a condition under which this Randers transformed mth-root Finsler metric is locally dually flat. Moreover, if transformed Finsler metric is conformal to the mth-root Finsler metric, then we prove that both of them reduce to Riemannian metrics.

There were elaborated different models of Finsler geometry using the Cartan (metric compatible), or Berwald and Chern (metric non-compatible) connections, the Ricci flag curvature, etc. In a series of works, we studied (non)-commutative metric compatible Finsler and non-holonomic generalizations of the Ricci flow theory [see S. Vacaru, J. Math. Phys. 49 (2008) 043504; 50 (2009) 073503 and references therein]. The aim of this work is to prove that there are some models of Finsler gravity and geometric evolution theories with generalized Perelman's functionals, and correspondingly derived non-holonomic Hamilton evolution equations, when metric non-compatible Finsler connections are involved. Following such an approach, we have to consider distortion tensors, uniquely defined by the Finsler metric, from the Cartan and/or the canonical metric compatible connections. We conclude that, in general, it is not possible to elaborate self-consistent models of geometric evolution with arbitrary Finsler metric non-compatible connections.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of weakly symmetric Finsler spaces and study some geometrical properties of such spaces. In particular, we prove that each maximal geodesic in a weakly symmetric Finsler space is the orbit of a one-parameter subgroup of the full isometric group. This implies that each weakly symmetric Finsler space has vanishing S-curvature. As an application of these results, we prove that there exist reversible non-Berwaldian Finsler metrics on the 3-dimensional sphere with vanishing S-curvature. This solves an open problem raised by Z. Shen.
