On Berwald and Wagner Manifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
Berwald and Wagner manifolds are two important classes of spaces in Finsler geometry. They are closely related to each other via the conformal change of the metric. After discussing the basic definitions and the elements of the theory we present general methods to construct examples of them.

Generalization of Hashiguchi–Ichijyō’s Theorems to Wagner–type manifolds
We introduced a class of conformally invariant Ehresmann connections so–called L-horizontal endomorphism in [7]. Using this class, we define conformally invariant manifolds: Wagner–type manifold and locally Minkowski–type manifold as special generalized Berwald manifolds. Then a generalization of Hashiguchi–Ichijyō’s Theorems to Wagner–type manifolds is presented. Mathematics Subject Classifica...
متن کاملStrictly Kähler-Berwald manifolds with constant holomorphic sectional curvature
In this paper, the authors prove that a strictly Kähler-Berwald manifold with nonzero constant holomorphic sectional curvature must be a Kähler manifold.
متن کاملA New Proof of Szabó’s Theorem on the Riemann-metrizability of Berwald Manifolds
The starting point of the famous structure theorems on Berwald spaces due to Z.I. Szabó [4] is an observation on the Riemann-metrizability of positive definite Berwald manifolds. It states that there always exists a Riemannian metric on the underlying manifold such that its Levi-Civita connection is just the canonical connection of the Berwald manifold. In this paper we present a new elementary...
متن کاملBerwald metrics constructed by Chevalley’s polynomials
Berwald metrics are particular Finsler metrics which still have linear Berwald connections. Their complete classification is established in an earlier work, [Sz1], of this author. The main tools in these classification are the Simons-Berger holonomy theorem and the Weyl-group theory. It turnes out that any Berwald metric is a perturbed-Cartesian product of Riemannian, Minkowski, and such non-Ri...
متن کاملSome Remarks on Berwald Manifolds and Landsberg Manifolds
In the present paper, we shall prove new characterizations of Berwald spaces and Landsberg spaces. The main idea inthis research is the use of the so-called average Riemannian metric.
