چکیده

here, a finsler manifold $(m,f)$ is considered with corresponding curvature tensor, regarded as $2$-forms on the bundle of non-zero tangent vectors. certain subspaces of the tangent spaces of $m$ determined by the curvature are introduced and called $k$-nullity foliations of the curvature operator. it is shown that if the dimension of foliation is constant, then the distribution is involutive and each maximal integral manifold is totally geodesic. characterization of the $k$-nullity foliation is given, as well as some results concerning constancy of the flag curvature, and completeness of their integral manifolds, providing completeness of $(m,f)$. the introduced $k$-nullity space is a natural extension of nullity space in riemannian geometry, introduced by chern and kuiper and enlarged to finsler setting by akbar-zadeh and contains it as a special case.

Unicorns in Finsler Geometry

By unicorns, I am referring to those mythical single-horned horse-like creatures for which there are only rumoured sightings by a privileged few. A similar situation exists in Finsler differential geometry. There, one has the hierarchy Euclidean ⊂ Minkowskian & Riemannian ⊂ Berwald ⊂ Landsberg among five families of metrics, in which the first two inclusions are known to be proper by virtue of ...

Some framed f - structures on transversally Finsler foliations

Some problems concerning to Liouville distribution and framed f -structures are studied on the normal bundle of the lifted Finsler foliation to its normal bundle. It is shown that the Liouville distribution of transversally Finsler foliations is an integrable one and some natural framed f(3, ε)structures of corank 2 exist on the normal bundle of the lifted Finsler foliation.

The Geometry of Finsler Spaces

The term "Finsler space " evokes in most mathematicians the picture of an impenetrable forest whose entire vegetation consists of tensors. The purpose of the present lecture is to show that the association of tensors (or differential forms) with Finsler spaces is due to an historical accident, and that, at least at the present time, the fruitful and relevant problems lie in a different directio...
