Geodesic orbit Finsler metrics on Euclidean spaces
Abstract
A Finsler space is called a geodesic orbit space if any geodesic of constant speed is the orbit of a one-parameter subgroup of isometries of . In this paper, we study Finsler metrics on Euclidean spaces which are geodesic orbit metrics. We will show that, in this case is a fiber bundle over a symmetric Finsler space of non-compact type such that each fiber is a totally geodesic nilmanifold with a step-size at most 2, and the projection is a Finslerian submersion. Furthermore, when has no Hermitian symmetric factors, the fiber bundle description for can be strengthened to as coset spaces, such that each product factor is totally geodesic in and is a geodesic orbit Finsler space itself. Finally, we use the techniques in this paper to discuss the interaction between the geodesic orbit spaces and the negative (non-positive) curved conditions, and provide new proofs for some of our previous results.
