Low dimensional flat manifolds with some classes of Finsler metric
Flat Riemannian manifolds are (up to isometry) quotient spaces of the Euclidean space R^n over a Bieberbach group and there are an exact classification of of them in 2 and 3 dimensions. In this paper, two classes of flat Finslerian manifolds are stuided and classified in dimensions 2 and 3.
متن کاملFinsler manifolds with non-Reimannian holonomy
The aim of this paper is to show that the holonomy group of a non-Riemannian Finsler manifold of constant curvature with dimension n > 2 cannot be a compact Lie group and hence it cannot occur as the holonomy group of any Riemannian manifold. This result gives a positive answer to the following problem formulated by S. S. Chern and Z. Shen: Is there a Finsler manifold whose holonomy group is no...
متن کاملFinsler manifolds with non-Riemannian holonomy
The aim of this paper is to show that holonomy properties of Finsler manifolds can be very different from those of Riemannian manifolds. We prove that the holonomy group of a positive definite non-Riemannian Finsler manifold of non-zero constant curvature with dimension > 2 cannot be a compact Lie group. Hence this holonomy group does not occur as the holonomy group of any Riemannian manifold. ...
متن کاملProjectively Flat Finsler Metrics of Constant Curvature
It is the Hilbert’s Fourth Problem to characterize the (not-necessarilyreversible) distance functions on a bounded convex domain in R such that straight lines are shortest paths. Distance functions induced by a Finsler metric are regarded as smooth ones. Finsler metrics with straight geodesics said to be projective. It is known that the flag curvature of any projective Finsler metric is a scala...
متن کاملCharacterization of projective Finsler manifolds of constant curvature having infinite dimensional holonomy group
In this paper we prove that the holonomy group of a simply connected locally projectively flat Finsler manifold of constant curvature is a finite dimensional Lie group if and only if it is flat or it is Riemannian. In particular, the holonomy group of non-Riemannian projective Finsler manifolds of nonzero constant curvature is infinite dimensional.
