Spherically symmetric Finsler metrics with constant Ricci and flag curvature

Finsler Manifolds with Nonpositive Flag Curvature and Constant S-curvature

The flag curvature is a natural extension of the sectional curvature in Riemannian geometry, and the S-curvature is a non-Riemannian quantity which vanishes for Riemannian metrics. There are (incomplete) nonRiemannian Finsler metrics on an open subset in Rn with negative flag curvature and constant S-curvature. In this paper, we are going to show a global rigidity theorem that every Finsler met...

Nonreversible Finsler Metrics of Positive Flag Curvature

Two-Dimensional Finsler Metrics with Constant Curvature

We construct infinitely many two-dimensional Finsler metrics on S 2 and D 2 with non-zero constant flag curvature. They are all not locally projectively flat.

Reversible Homogeneous Finsler Metrics with Positive Flag Curvature

In this work, we continue with the classification for positively curved homogeneous Finsler spaces (G/H,F ). With the assumption that the homogeneous space G/H is odd dimensional and the positively curved metric F is reversible, we only need to consider the most difficult case left, i.e. when the isotropy group H is regular in G. Applying the fixed point set technique and the homogeneous flag c...

Some Remarks on Finsler Manifolds with Constant Flag Curvature

This article is an exposition of four loosely related remarks on the geometry of Finsler manifolds with constant positive flag curvature. The first remark is that there is a canonical Kähler structure on the space of geodesics of such a manifold. The second remark is that there is a natural way to construct a (not necessarily complete) Finsler n-manifold of constant positive flag curvature out ...
