On Stretch curvature of Finsler manifolds

Authors

Abstract:

In this paper, Finsler metrics with relatively non-negative (resp. non-positive), isotropic and constant stretch curvature are studied.  In particular, it is showed that every compact Finsler manifold with relatively non-positive (resp. non-negative) stretch curvature is a Landsberg metric. Also, it is proved that every  (α,β)-metric of non-zero constant flag curvature and non-zero relatively isotropic stretch curvature on a manifold of dimension n>2 has a constant characteristic scalar along the geodesics. Two dimensional Finsler manifolds of relatively stretch curvature are studied, too../files/site1/files/0Abstract4.pdf

On Negatively Curved Finsler Manifolds of Scalar Curvature

In this paper, we prove a global rigidity theorem for negatively curved Finsler metrics on a compact manifold of dimension n ≥ 3. We show that for such a Finsler manifold, if the flag curvature is a scalar function on the tangent bundle, then the Finsler metric is of Randers type. We also study the case when the Finsler metric is locally projectively flat.

Finsler Manifolds with Nonpositive Flag Curvature and Constant S-curvature

The flag curvature is a natural extension of the sectional curvature in Riemannian geometry, and the S-curvature is a non-Riemannian quantity which vanishes for Riemannian metrics. There are (incomplete) nonRiemannian Finsler metrics on an open subset in Rn with negative flag curvature and constant S-curvature. In this paper, we are going to show a global rigidity theorem that every Finsler met...

Some Remarks on Finsler Manifolds with Constant Flag Curvature

This article is an exposition of four loosely related remarks on the geometry of Finsler manifolds with constant positive flag curvature. The first remark is that there is a canonical Kähler structure on the space of geodesics of such a manifold. The second remark is that there is a natural way to construct a (not necessarily complete) Finsler n-manifold of constant positive flag curvature out ...

A Geometric Characterization of Finsler Manifolds of Constant Curvature

We prove that a Finsler manifold Fm is of constant curvature K = 1 if and only if the unit horizontal Liouville vector field is a Killing vector field on the indicatrix bundle IM of Fm.

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.

On concircularly recurrent Finsler manifolds

Two special Finsler spaces have been introduced and investigated, namely R-recurrent Finsler space and concircularly recurrent Finsler space. The defining properties of these spaces are formulated in terms of the first curvature tensor of Cartan connection. The following three results constitute the main object of the present paper: (i) a concircularly flat Finsler manifold is necessarily of co...
