Homogeneous Geodesics of Left Invariant Randers Metrics on a Three-Dimensional Lie Group
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study homogeneous geodesics in a three-dimensional connected Lie group G equipped with a left invariant Randers metric and investigates the set of all homogeneous geodesics. We show that there is a three-dimensional unimodular Lie group with a left invariant non-Berwaldian Randers metric which admits exactly one homogeneous geodesic through the identity element.

Homogeneous geodesics of left invariant Finsler metrics
In this paper, we study the set of homogeneous geodesics of a leftinvariant Finsler metric on Lie groups. We first give a simple criterion that characterizes geodesic vectors. As an application, we study some geometric properties of bi-invariant Finsler metrics on Lie groups. In particular a necessary and sufficient condition that left-invariant Randers metrics are of Berwald type is given. Fin...
متن کاملOn 5-dimensional 2-step homogeneous randers nilmanifolds of Douglas type
In this paper we first obtain the non-Riemannian Randers metrics of Douglas type on two-step homogeneous nilmanifolds of dimension five. Then we explicitly give the flag curvature formulae and the $S$-curvature formulae for the Randers metrics of Douglas type on these spaces. Moreover, we prove that the only simply connected five-dimensional two-step homogeneous Randers nilmanifolds of D...
متن کاملHomogeneous geodesics in homogeneous Finsler spaces
In this paper, we study homogeneous geodesics in homogeneous Finsler spaces. We first give a simple criterion that characterizes geodesic vectors. We show that the geodesics on a Lie group, relative to a bi-invariant Finsler metric, are the cosets of the one-parameter subgroups. The existence of infinitely many homogeneous geodesics on compact semi-simple Lie group is established. We introduce ...
متن کاملGeodesically Complete Lorentzian Metrics on Some Homogeneous 3 Manifolds
In this work it is shown that a necessary condition for the completeness of the geodesics of left invariant pseudo-Riemannian metrics on Lie groups is also sufficient in the case of 3-dimensional unimodular Lie groups, and not sufficient for 3-dimensional non unimodular Lie groups. As a consequence it is possible to identify, amongst the compact locally homogeneous Lorentzian 3-manifolds with n...

We show that a necessary condition for the completeness of the geodesics of left invariant pseudo-Riemannian metrics on Lie groups is also sufficient in the case of 3-dimensional unimodular Lie groups, and not sufficient for 3-dimensional non-unimodular Lie groups. As a consequence it is possible to identify, amongst the compact locally homogeneous Lorentz 3-manifolds with non compact (local) i...
