Some Rigidity Theorems for Finsler Manifolds of Sectional Flag Curvature
In this paper we study some rigidity properties for Finsler manifolds of sectional flag curvature. We prove that any Landsberg manifold of non-zero sectional flag curvature and any closed Finsler manifold of negative sectional flag curvature must be Riemannian.
متن کاملRelative volume comparison theorems in Finsler geometry and their applications
We establish some relative volume comparison theorems for extremal volume forms of Finsler manifolds under suitable curvature bounds. As their applications, we obtain some results on curvature and topology of Finsler manifolds. Our results remove the usual assumption on S-curvature that is needed in the literature.
متن کاملFrom Metric Properties to a Rigidity Conjecture on Finsler Manifolds via a Geodesic Detecting Algorithm
Abstract. The aim of this paper is to consider Busemann-type inequalities on Finsler manifolds. We actually formulate a rigidity conjecture: any Finsler manifold which is a Busemann NPC space is Berwaldian. This statement is supported by some theoretical results and numerical examples. The presented examples are obtained by using evolutionary techniques (genetic algorithms) which can be used fo...
متن کامل5 Comparison Theorems in Finsler Geometry and Their Applications
We prove Hessian comparison theorems, Laplacian comparison theorems and volume comparison theorems of Finsler manifolds under various curvature conditions. As applications, we derive Mckean type theorems for the first eigenvalue of Finsler manifolds, as well as generalize a result on fundamental group due to Milnor to Finsler manifolds.
متن کاملLow 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.
