Intrinsic Theory of Projective Changes in Finsler Geometry

چکیده
The aim of the present paper is to provide an intrinsic investigation of projective changes in Finlser geometry, following the pullback formalism. Various known local results are generalized and other new intrinsic results are obtained. Nontrivial characterizations of projective changes are given. The fundamental projectively invariant tensors, namely, the projective deviation tensor, the Weyl torsion tensor, the Weyl curvature tensor and the Douglas tensor are investigated. The properties of these tensors and their interrelationships are obtained. Projective connections and projectively flat manifolds are characterized. The present work is entirely intrinsic (free from local coordinates).

The work extends the A. Connes’ noncommutative geometry to spaces with generic local anisotropy. We apply the E. Cartan’s anholonomic frame approach to geometry models and physical theories and develop the nonlinear connection formalism for projective module spaces. Examples of noncommutative generation of anholonomic Riemann, Finsler and Lagrange spaces are analyzed. We also present a research...
متن کاملTriple factorization of non-abelian groups by two maximal subgroups
The triple factorization of a group $G$ has been studied recently showing that $G=ABA$ for some proper subgroups $A$ and $B$ of $G$, the definition of rank-two geometry and rank-two coset geometry which is closely related to the triple factorization was defined and calculated for abelian groups. In this paper we study two infinite classes of non-abelian finite groups $D_{2n}$ and $PSL(2,2^{n})$...
متن کاملλ-Projectively Related Finsler Metrics and Finslerian Projective Invariants
In this paper, by using the concept of spherically symmetric metric, we defne the notion of λ-projectively related metrics as an extension of projectively related metrics. We construct some non-trivial examples of λ-projectively related metrics. Let F and G be two λ-projectively related metrics on a manifold M. We find the relation between the geodesics of F and G and prove that any geodesic of...

We extend the classical Crofton formulas in Euclidean integral geometry to Finsler metrics on Rn whose geodesics are straight lines.
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.
