A Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem for Finsler vector bundles

Differential Geometry 2019-06-18 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we give a simple proof of the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem for a real oriented Finsler vector bundle with rank equal to the dimension of the base manifold. As an application, a Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula for any metric-compatible connection is established on Finsler manifolds.
