In a series of papers ([2, 3, 4]) the relations existing between the metric properties of Randers spaces and the conformal geometry of stationary Lorentzian manifolds were discovered and investigated. These relations were called in [4] Stationary-to-Randers Correspondence (SRC). In this paper we focus on one aspect of SRC, the equality between the index of a geodesic in a Randers space and that...

The book “Handbook of Finsler geometry” has been included with a CD containing an elegant Maple package, FINSLER, for calculations in Finsler geometry. Using this package, an example concerning a Finsler generalization of Einstein’s vacuum field equations was treated. In this example, the calculation of the components of the hv-curvature of Cartan connection leads to wrong expressions. On the o...

Abstract For compact manifolds with infinite fundamental group we present sufficient topological or metric conditions ensuring the existence of two geometrically distinct closed geodesics. We also extend results about generic Riemannian metrics to Finsler metrics. show a bumpy theorem for and prove that $$C^4$$ C</mml:mi...

We obtain the expression of Ricci tensor for a $GCR$-lightlikesubmanifold of indefinite complex space form and discuss itsproperties on a totally geodesic $GCR$-lightlike submanifold of anindefinite complex space form. Moreover, we have proved that everyproper totally umbilical $GCR$-lightlike submanifold of anindefinite Kaehler manifold is a totally geodesic $GCR$-lightlikesubmanifold.

In this paper, we study the existence of solutions for a critical elliptic problem for polyharmonic operators. We prove the existence result in some general domain by minimizing on some infinite-dimensional Finsler manifold for some suitable perturbation of the critical nonlinearity when the dimension of domain is larger than critical one. For the critical dimensions, we prove also the existenc...

The aim of this paper is to construct horizontal Chern forms of a holomorphic vector bundle using complex Finsler structures. Also, some properties of these forms are studied.

We define a manifold M where objects c ∈ M are curves, which we parameterize as c : S → lR (n ≥ 2, S is the circle). We study geometries on the manifold of curves, provided by Sobolev–type Riemannian metrics H . These metrics have been shown to regularize gradient flows used in Computer Vision applications, see [13, 16] and references therein. We provide some basic results of H metrics; and, fo...

In this paper, we will study compatible triples on Lie algebroids. Using a suitable decomposition for a Lie algebroid, we construct an integrable generalized distribution on the base manifold. As a result, the symplectic form on the Lie algebroid induces a symplectic form on each integral submanifold of the distribution. The induced Poisson structure on the base manifold can be represented by m...

A generalization of Finsler structures on surfaces is proposed and the differential invariants of such structures are developed. The information obtained is then used to construct examples of Finsler structures and generalized Finsler structures which satisfy various interesting curvature conditions. In particular, examples are constructed of non-Riemannian Finsler structures on the 2-sphere wh...
