We introduced a class of conformally invariant Ehresmann connections so–called L-horizontal endomorphism in [7]. Using this class, we define conformally invariant manifolds: Wagner–type manifold and locally Minkowski–type manifold as special generalized Berwald manifolds. Then a generalization of Hashiguchi–Ichijyō’s Theorems to Wagner–type manifolds is presented. Mathematics Subject Classifica...

In 1977, M. Matsumoto and R. Miron [9] constructed an orthonormal frame for an n-dimensional Finsler space, called ‘Miron frame’. The present authors [1, 2, 3, 10, 11] discussed four-dimensional Finsler spaces equipped with such frame. M. Matsumoto [7, 8] proved that in a three-dimensional Berwald space, all the main scalars are h-covariant constants and the h-connection vector vanishes. He als...

Curvature collineations of a spray manifold induced by the Lie symmetries of the underlying spray are studied. The basic observation is that the Jacobi endomorphism and the Berwald curvature are invariant under these symmetries; this implies the invariance of the further curvature data. Our main technical tool is an appropriate Lie derivative operator along the tangent bundle projection. M.S.C....

We study the existence of a natural ‘linearisation’ process for generalised connections on an affine bundle. It is shown that this leads to an affine generalised connection over a prolonged bundle, which is the analogue of what is called a connection of Berwald type in the standard theory of connections. Various new insights are being obtained in the fine structure of affine bundles over an anc...

A linear connection on a Finsler manifold is called compatible to the function if its parallel transports preserve Finslerian length of tangent vectors. Generalized Berwald manifolds are equipped with connection. In paper we present general and intrinsic method characterize connections dimension three. We prove that not unique then indicatrices must be Euclidean surfaces revolution. The surplus...
