  If a non-reversible Finsler norm is the sum of a reversible Finsler norm and a closed 1-form, then one can uniquely recover the 1-form up to potential fields from the boundary distance data. We also show a boundary rigidity result for Randers metrics where the reversible Finsler norm is induced by a Riemannian metric which is boundary rigid. Our theorems generalize Riemannian boundary rigidity results to some non-reversible Finsler manifolds. We provide an application to seismology where the seismic wave propagates in a moving medium.

Abstract Let F_{n} : (Σ, h_{n} ) \to \mathbb{C}^{2} be a sequence of conformally immersed Lagrangian self-shrinkers with a uniform area upper bound to the mean curvature flow, and suppose that the sequence of metrics \{ h_{n} \} converges smoothly to a Riemannian metric h. We show that a subsequence of \{ F_{n} \} converges smoothly to a branched conformally immersed Lagrangian self-shrinker F_{\infty} : (Σ, h) \to \mathbb{C}^{2} . When the area bound is less than 16π, the limit {F_{\infty}} is an embedded torus. When the genus of Σ is one, we can drop the assumption on convergence h_{n} \to h. When the genus of Σ is zero, we show that there is no branched immersion of Σ as a Lagrangian self-shrinker, generalizing the rigidity result of [21] in dimension two by allowing branch points.

In this paper, we introduce a Riemannian metric [Formula: see text] and a family of framed f-structures on the slit tangent bundle [Formula: see text] of a Finsler manifold Fn = (M, F). Then we prove that there exists an almost contact structure on the tangent bundle, when this structure is restricted to the Finslerian indicatrix. We show that this structure is Sasakian if and only if Fn is of positive constant curvature 1. Finally, we prove that (i) Fn is a locally flat Riemannian manifold if and only if [Formula: see text], (ii) the Jacobi operator [Formula: see text] is zero or commuting if and only if (M, F) have the zero flag curvature.

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.

For any Finsler manifold, there is a geometrically natural Laplacian operator, called the mean-value Laplacian, which generalizes the Riemannian Laplacian. We show that, like the Riemannian Laplacian (for functions), we can see the vanishing of the mean-value Laplacian at some function f as the minimizing of an energy functional e(f) by f. This energy functional e depends on a Riemannian metric canonically associated to the Finsler metric and on a canonically associated volume form. We relate this construction to a more general construction of Jost, and define a notion of harmonic mappings between Finsler manifolds.

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.

The-metric is an important class of Finsler metrics including Randers metric as the simplest class, and many people research the Randers metrics. In this paper, we study a new class of Finsler metrics in the form ,Whereis a Riemannian metric, is a 1-form. Bengling Li had introduced the projective flat of the-Metric F. We find another method which is about flag curvature to prove the projective flat conditions of this kind of-metric.

We prove that every smooth diffeomorphism group valued cocycle over certain$\mathbb{Z}^{k}$Anosov actions on tori (and more generally on infranilmanifolds) is a smooth coboundary on a finite cover, if the cocycle is center bunched and trivial at a fixed point. For smooth cocycles which are not trivial at a fixed point, we have smooth reduction of cocycles to constant ones, when lifted to the universal cover. These results on cocycle trivialization apply, via the existing global rigidity results, to maximal Cartan$\mathbb{Z}^{k}$($k\geq 3$) actions by Anosov diffeomorphisms (with at least one transitive), on any compact smooth manifold. This is the first rigidity result for cocycles over$\mathbb{Z}^{k}$actions with values in diffeomorphism groups which does not require any restrictions on the smallness of the cocycle or on the diffeomorphism group.

Equivalent Characterization

In this paper, we give an equivalent characterization of conformal vector fields on a Finsler manifold [Formula: see text], whose metric [Formula: see text] is defined by a Riemannian metric [Formula: see text] and a 1-form [Formula: see text]. This characterization contains all related results in [Z. Shen and Q. Xia, On conformal vector fields on Randers manifolds, Sci. China Math. 55(9) (2012) 1869–1882; Z. Shen and M. Yuan, Conformal vector fields on some Finsler manifolds, Sci. China Math. 59(1) (2016) 107–114; X. Cheng, Y. Li and T. Li, The conformal vector fields on Kropina manifolds, Diff. Geom. Appl. 56 (2018) 344–354] as special cases. Further, we determine conformal fields on some Finsler manifolds [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is of constant sectional curvature and [Formula: see text] is a conformal 1-form with respect to [Formula: see text].

Randers Metrics

Locally dually flat Finsler metrics arise from information geometry. Such metrics have special geometric properties. In this paper, we characterize locally dually flat and projectively flat Finsler metrics and study a special class of Finsler metrics called Randers metrics which are expressed as the sum of a Riemannian metric and a one-form. We find some equations that characterize locally dually flat Randers metrics and classify those with isotropic S-curvature.
