Abstract
We prove that a homogeneous Finsler sphere with constant flag curvature and a prime closed geodesic of length must be Riemannian. This observation provides the evidence for the non-existence of homogeneous Bryant spheres. It also helps us propose an alternative approach proving that a geodesic orbit Finsler sphere with must be Randers. Then we discuss the behavior of geodesics on a homogeneous Finsler sphere with . We prove that many geodesic properties for homogeneous Randers spheres with can be generalized to the non-Randers case.
