We consider sub-Riemannian spaces admitting an isometry group that is maximal in the sense that any linear isometry between the horizontal tangent spaces is realized by a global isometry. We will show that these spaces have a canonical…

In this paper, we classify the spherically symmetric Berwald metrics in $\mathbb{R}^n$. For the spherically symmetric Landsberg metrics, we prove that there do not exist any non-Berwald metrics among the regular case. The partial…

Non-existence theorems for Levi flat hypersurfaces have found great interest in the literature. The question next to this that has to be asked is, when existing Levi flat hypersurfaces are at least rigid under deformations. Here, the case…

In this paper, we study the set of homogeneous geodesics of a leftinvariant Finsler metric on Lie groups. We first give a simple criterion that characterizes geodesic vectors. As an application, we study some geometric properties of…

We give a necessary condition of geometric nature for the existence of the $H$-fractional Brownian field indexed by a Riemannian manifold. In the case of the L\'evy Brownian field ($H=1/2$) indexed by manifolds with minimal closed geodesics…

We show that monochromatic Finsler metrics, i.e., Finsler metrics such that each two tangent spaces are isomorphic as normed spaces, are generalized Berwald metrics, i.e., there exists an affine connection, possibly with torsion, that…

In this paper, it is proved that a connected 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold or a closed connected semi-Riemannian manifold $M^n$($n>1$) admitting a projective vector field with a non-linearizable singularity is projectively flat.

Some general Finsler connections are defined. Emphasis is being made on the Cartan tensor and its derivatives. Vanishing of the hv-curvature tensors of these connections characterizes Landsbergian, Berwaldian as well as Riemannian…

It is known that a simply connected Riemann surface satisfies the isoperimetric equality if and only if it has constant Gaussian curvature. In this article, we show that Randers Poincar\'e disc satisfies the isoperimetric equality with…

A piecewise flat Finsler metric on a triangulated surface $M$ is a metric whose restriction to any triangle is a flat triangle in some Minkowski space with straight edges. One of the main purposes of this work is to study the properties of…

We investigate the rigidity problem for the sharp spectral gap on Finsler manifolds of weighted Ricci curvature bound $\text{Ric}_{\infty} \geq K > 0$. Our main results show that if the equality holds, the manifold necessarily admits a…

In this paper, we study a new class of Finsler metrics, F=\alpha\phi(b^2,s), s:=\beta/\alpha, defined by a Riemannian metric \alpha and 1-form \beta. It is called general (\alpha, \beta) metric. In this paper, we assume \phi be coefficient…

The paper consider the symmetric of Finsler spaces. We give some conditions about globally symmetric Finsler spaces. Then we prove that these spaces can be written as a coset space of Lie group with an invariant Finsler metric. Finally, we…

By a Randers' structure on a manifold $M$ we mean a Finsler structure $L^*=L+\alpha$, where $L$ is a Riemannian structure and $\alpha$ is a 1-form on $M$. This structure was first introduced by Randers ~\cite{[8]} from the standpoint of…

In the paper we consider Riemannian surfaces admitting a global expression of the Gauss curvature as the divergence of a vector field. It is equivalent to the existence of a metric linear connection of zero curvature. Such a linear…

This paper is devoted to investigate an interpolation inequality between the Brezis-V\'azquez and Poincar\'e inequalities (shortly, BPV inequality) on nonnegatively curved spaces. As a model case, we first prove that the BPV inequality…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a Riemannian four-dimensional manifold $(M, g)$ with anti-self-dual Weyl tensor to be locally conformal to a Ricci--flat manifold. These conditions are expressed as the vanishing of scalar and…

We show that always present in the autoparallels, even in natural liftings to the Finsler bundle of arbitrary connections, the Lorentz force is inescapable in Finsler geometry. These liftings retain the form $R_{\,\nu \lambda }^{\mu }\omega…

The main objective of this paper is to study semi-concurrent vector fields on a Finsler manifold. We show that the quasi-$C$-reducible Finsler space, $C3$-like Finsler space, $C^{h}$-recurrent Finsler space, and $P2$-like Finsler space are…

In this short paper, we establish a closer relation between the Berwald scalar curvature and the $S$-curvature. In fact, we prove that a Finsler metric has isotropic Berwald scalar curvature if and only if it has weakly isotropic…
