Abstract
An isometry of a Finsler space is called Clifford-Wolf translation (CW-translation) if it moves all points the same distance. A Finsler space is called Clifford-Wolf homogeneous (CW-homogeneous) if for any there is a CW-translation such that . We prove that if is a homogeneous Finsler metric on the sphere such that is CW-homogeneous, then must be a Randers metric. This gives a complete classification of CW-homogeneous Finsler metrics on spheres.
