Conformal $\beta$- change in Finsler spaces

Abstract

We investigate what we call a conformal β\beta - change in Finsler spaces, namely L(x,y) L(x,y)=eσ(x)L(x,y)+β(x,y) L(x,y)\to ~^{\ast}L(x,y)=e^{\sigma(x)}L(x,y)+\beta(x,y) where~σ \sigma ~ is a function of x only and β(x,y)x~ only ~and ~ \beta (x, y) is a given 1- form. This change generalizes various types of changes: conformal changes, Randers changes and β\beta - changes. Under this change, we obtain the relationships between some tensors associated with (M,L)(M,L) and the corresponding tensors associated with (M,L)(M,{^\ast}L). We investigate some σ\sigma- invariant tensors . This investigation allows us to give an answer to the question: Are the properties of C-reducibility, S3S_3-likeness and S4S_4-likeness invariant under a conformal β\beta - change?
