Finsler structure of the Apollonian weak metric on the unit disc
Abstract
In this paper, we {\it find} the Finsler structure of the Apollonian weak metric on the open unit disc in , which turns out to be a Randers type Finsler structure and we call it as Apollonian weak-Finsler structure. In fact the Apollonian weak-Finsler structure is the deformation of the hyperbolic Poincar\'e metric in the unit disc by a closed -form. As a cosequence, the trajectories of the geodesic of this Apollonian weak-Finsler structure pointwise agrees with the geodesic of hyperbolic Poincar\'e metric in the open unit disc. Further, we explicitly calculate its -curvature, Riemann curvature, Ricci curvature and flag curvature. It turns out that the -curvature of the Apollonian weak-Finsler structure in the unit disc is bounded below by , while its flag curvature satisfies .
