Clifford-Wolf homogeneous left invariant $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics on compact semi-simple Lie groups
Abstract
Let be a connected Finsler space. An isometry of is called a Clifford-Wolf translation (or simply CW-translation) if it moves all points the same distance. The compact Finsler space is called restrictively Clifford-Wolf homogeneous (restrictively CW-homogeneous) if for any two sufficiently close points , there exists a CW-translation such that . In this paper, we define the good normalized datum for a homogeneous non-Riemannian -space, and use it to study the restrictive CW-homogeneity of left invariant -metrics on a compact connected semisimple Lie group. We prove that a left invariant restrictively CW-homogeneous -metric on a compact semisimple Lie group must be of the Randers type. This gives a complete classification of left invariant -metrics on compact semi-simple Lie groups which are restrictively Clifford-Wolf homogeneous.
