In §1 the authors present the basic properties of the scalar product along a curve on a Finsler manifold. In §2 they investigate the variational formulae for the p-energy functional (p ∈ R − {0}). This concept generalises the notions of length (p = 1) and energy (p = 2) of a curve. §3 analyses the extrema of p-energy when the Finsler space has constant curvature. (F3) the fundamental tensor g i...

The present paper deals with an intrinsic investigation of the notion of a concurrent π-vector field on the pullback bundle of a Finsler manifold (M,L). The effect of the existence of a concurrent π-vector field on some important special Finsler spaces is studied. An intrinsic investigation of a particular β-change, namely the energy β-change (L̃(x, y) = L(x, y) + B(x, y)with B := g(ζ, η); ζ bei...

In this note the geometry of the indicatrix (I, L̃) is studied as a hypersurface of a complex Finsler space (M,L). The induced Chern-Finsler and Berwald connections are defined and studied. The induced Berwald connection coincides with the intrinsic Berwald connection of the indicatrix bundle. We considered a special projection of a geodesic curve on a complex Finsler space (M,L), called the ind...

In [Mu1] we underlined the motifs of holomorphic subspaces in a complex Finsler space: induced nonlinear connection, coupling connections, and the induced tangent and normal connections. In the present paper we investigate the equations of Gauss, H−and A−Codazzi, and Ricci equations of a holomorphic subspace. We deduce the link between the holomorphic curvatures of the Chern-Finsler connection ...

We extend several notions and results from the classical Patterson-Sullivan theory to setting of Anosov subgroups higher rank semisimple Lie groups, working primarily with invariant Finsler metrics on associated symmetric spaces. In particular, we prove equality between Hausdorff dimensions flag limit sets, computed respect a suitable Gromov (pre-)metric manifold, critical exponents subgroups.

It is well known that deformation theorems are the basic tools in critical point theory. They can be derived under a condition of Palais-Smale type ((PS), for short). In the classical setting of a C1 functional f defined on a Banach space X (or a C2 Finsler manifold), we refer to [15]; for a continuous functional f defined on a complete metric space X, we refer to [8], the results of which incl...

This paper is connected with the problem of describing path metric spaces which are homeomorphic to manifolds and biLipschitz homogeneous, i.e., whose biLipschitz homeomorphism group acts transitively. Our main result is the following. LetX = G/H be a homogeneous space of a Lie group G, and let d be a geodesic distance on X inducing the same topology. Suppose there exists a subgroup GS of G whi...
