Abstract

In our previous work, we have defined a nonlinear connection of Finsler manifold which preserves the Finsler metric L=L(x,dx)L=L(x,dx). To make the method easier and more useful in applications, moving frame (vielbein) θa=eaμdxμ\theta^a={e^a}_\mu dx^\mu formalism for the nonlinear connection is newly considered. We derive formulae to calculate the Finsler connection in the specific case that the Finsler metric depends not on coordinates xμx^\mu, but only on moving frame θa\theta^a: L=L(θ)L=L(\theta).
