The existence of a homogeneous geodesic in homogeneous Finsler manifolds was positively answered in previous papers. However, the result is not optimal. In the present paper, this result is refined and the existence of at least two homogeneous geodesics in any homogeneous Finsler manifold is proved. In a previous paper, examples of Randers metrics which admit just two homogeneous geodesics were constructed, which shows that the present result is the best possible.

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.

In this paper, we study conformal deformations and [Formula: see text]-conformal deformations of Ricci-directional and second type scalar curvatures on Finsler manifolds. Then we introduce the best equation to study the Yamabe problem on Finsler manifolds. Finally, we restrict conformal deformations of metrics to [Formula: see text]-conformal deformations and derive the Yamabe functional and the Yamabe flow in Finsler geometry.

AbstractThe class of generalized P-reducible manifolds (briefly GP-reducible manifolds) was first introduced by Tayebi and his collaborates [1]. This class of Finsler manifolds contains the classes of P-reducible manifolds, C-reducible manifolds and Landsberg manifolds. We prove that every compact GP-reducible manifold with positive or negative character is a Randers manifold. The norm of Cartan torsion plays an important role for studying immersion theory in Finsler geometry. We find the relation between the norm of Cartan torsion, mean Cartan torsion, Landsberg and mean Landsberg curvatures of the class of GP-reducible manifolds. Finally, we prove that every GP-reducible manifold admitting a concurrent vector field reduces to a weakly Landsberg manifold.

The collection of all projective vector fields on a Finsler space (M, F) is a finite-dimensional Lie algebra with respect to the usual Lie bracket, called the projective algebra. A specific Lie sub-algebra of projective algebra of Randers spaces (called the special projective algebra) of non-zero constant S-curvature is studied and it is proved that its dimension is at most [Formula: see text]. Moreover, a local characterization of Randers spaces whose special projective algebra has maximum dimension is established. The results uncover somehow the complexity of projective Finsler geometry versus Riemannian geometry.

AbstractStudying geodesic orbit Randers metrics on spheres, we obtain a complete classification of such metrics. Our method relies upon the classification of geodesic orbit Riemannian metrics on the spheres Sn in [17] and the navigation data in Finsler geometry. We also construct some explicit U(n + 1)-invariant metrics on S2n+1 and Sp(n + 1)U(1)-invariant metrics on S4n+3.

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.

The Relationship

In this paper the relationship between the Ricci curvature and the fundamental groups of Finsler manifolds are studied. We give an estimate of the first Betti number of a compact Finsler manifold. Two finiteness theorems for fundamental groups of compact Finsler manifolds are proved. Moreover, the growth of fundamental groups of Finsler manifolds with almost-nonnegative Ricci curvature are considered.

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.

AbstractIn this note, we study a new Finslerian quantity Ĉ defined by the Riemannian curvature. We prove that the new Finslerian quantity is a non-Riemannian quantity for a Finsler manifold with dimension n = 3. Then we study Finsler metrics of scalar curvature. We find that the Ĉ-curvature is closely related to the flag curvature and the H-curvature. We show that Ĉ-curvature gives, a measure of the failure of a Finsler metric to be of weakly isotropic flag curvature. We also give a simple proof of the Najafi-Shen-Tayebi' theorem.
