We formulate a statistical analogy of regular Lagrange mechanics and Finsler geometry derived from Grisha Perelman’s functionals and generalized for nonholonomic Ricci flows. Explicit constructions are elaborated when nonholonomically constrained flows of Riemann metrics result in Finsler like configurations, and inversely, when geometric mechanics is modelled on Riemann spaces with a preferred...

In this paper, we prove that the Hodge-Laplace operator on strongly pseudoconvex compact complex Finsler manifolds is a self-adjoint elliptic operator. Then, from the decomposition theorem for self-adjoint elliptic operators, we obtain a Hodge decomposition theorem on strongly pseudoconvex compact complex Finsler manifolds.

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.

A Finsler metric is of sectional flag curvature if its flag curvature depends only on the section. In this article, we characterize Randers metrics of sectional flag curvature. It is proved that any non-Riemannian Randers metric of sectional flag curvature must have constant flag curvature if the dimension is greater than two. 0. Introduction Finsler geometry has a long history dated from B. Ri...
