In this paper, we study the set of homogeneous geodesics of a leftinvariant Finsler metric on Lie groups. We first give a simple criterion that characterizes geodesic vectors. As an application, we study some geometric properties of bi-invariant Finsler metrics on Lie groups. In particular a necessary and sufficient condition that left-invariant Randers metrics are of Berwald type is given. Fin...

In this paper we continue the study of the complex Beil metrics, in complex Finsler geometry, [18]. Primarily, we determine the main geometric objects corresponding to these metrics, e.g. the Chern-Finsler complex non-linear connection, the Chern-Finsler complex linear connection and the holomorphic curvature. We focus our study on the cases when a complex Finsler space, endowed with a complex ...

The well-known invariants of conics are computed for classes of Finsler and Lagrange spaces. For the Finsler case, some (α, β)-metrics namely Randers, Kropina and ”Riemann”-type metrics provides conics as indicatrices and a Randers-Funk metric on the unit disk is treated as example. The relations between algebraic and differential invariants of (α, β)-metrics are pointed out as a method to use ...

equality of -curvatures of the berwald and cartan connections leads to a new class of finsler metrics, so-called bc-generalized landsberg metrics. here, we prove that every bc-generalized landsberg metric of scalar flag curvature with dimension greater than two is of constant flag curvature.

The dual flatness for Riemannian metrics in information geometry has been extended to Finsler metrics. The aim of this paper is to study the dual flatness of the so-called (α, β)-metrics in Finsler geometry. By doing some special deformations, we will show that the dual flatness of an (α, β)-metric always arises from that of some Riemannian metric in dimensional n ≥ 3.

The concept of locally dually flat Finsler metrics originate from information geometry. As we know, (α, β)-metrics defined by a Riemannian metric α and an 1-form β, represent an important class of Finsler metrics, which contains the Matsumoto metric. In this paper, we study and characterize locally dually flat first approximation of the Matsumoto metric with isotropic S-curvature, which is not ...

The notion of dually flat Finsler metrics arise from information geometry. In this paper, we will study a special class of Finsler metrics called Randers metrics to be dually flat. A simple characterization is provided and some non-trivial explicit examples are constructed. In particular, We will show that the dual flatness of a Randers metric always arises from that of some Riemannian metric b...

One of the key properties of the length of a curve is its lower semicontinuity : if a sequence of curves γi converges to a curve γ, then length(γ) ≤ lim inf length(γi). Here the weakest type of pointwise convergence suffices. There are higher-dimensional analogs of this semicontinuity for Riemannian (and even Finsler) metrics. For instance, the Besicovitch inequality (see, e.g., [1] and [4]) im...

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 ...
