We study non-reversible Finsler metrics with constant flag curvature 1 on S and show that the geodesic flow of every such metric is conjugate to that of one of Katok’s examples, which form a 1-parameter family. In particular, the length of the shortest closed geodesic is a complete invariant of the geodesic flow. We also show, in any dimension, that the geodesic flow of a Finsler metrics with c...

We study an important class of Finsler metrics — Randers metrics. We classify Randers metrics of scalar flag curvature whose S-curvatures are isotropic. This class of Randers metrics contains all projectively flat Randers metrics with isotropic S-curvature and Randers metrics of constant flag curvature.

We present a continuous and convex formulation for Finsler active contours using seed regions or utilizing a regional bias term. The utilization of general Finsler metrics instead of Riemannian metrics allows the segmentation boundary to favor appropriate locations (e.g. with strong image discontinuities) and suitable directions (e.g. aligned with dark to bright image gradients). Strong edges a...

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...

‎We study curvature properties of four-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds with two-symmetry property‎. ‎We then consider Einstein-like metrics‎, ‎Ricci solitons and homogeneity over these spaces‎‎.

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...

In this paper, we study a class of Finsler metrics defined by a Riemannian metric and a 1-form on a manifold. We find an equation that characterizes Douglas metrics on a manifold of dimension n ≥ 3.

we prove that every r-quadratic metric of scalar flag curvature with a dimension greater than twois of constant flag curvature. then we show that generalized douglas-weyl metrics contain r-quadraticmetrics as a special case, but the class of r-quadratic metric is not closed under projective transformations

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