Finsler metrics with relatively non-negative (non-positive, respectively), constant and isotropic stretch curvatures are investigated in this paper. In particular, it is proved that every non-Riemannian $(\alpha, \beta)$-metric with a…

We prove four results towards a description, in terms of the null support function, of the set of isometric embeddings of the hyperbolic plane into Minkowski 3-space. We show that for sufficiently tame null support function, the…

Let M be an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold and TM its tangent bundle. The conformal and fiber preserving vector fields on TM have well-known physical interpretations and have been studied by physicists and geometricians. Here we define a…

We prove that the conformal group of a closed, simply connected, real analytic Lorentzian manifold is compact. D'Ambra proved in 1988 that the isometry group of such a manifold is compact. Our result implies the Lorentzian Lichnerowicz…

A Riemannian manifold is called harmonic if its volume density function expressed in polar coordinates centered at any point is radial. Flat and rank-one symmetric spaces are harmonic. The converse (the Lichnerowicz Conjecture) is true for…

In this work an intrinsic projectively invariant distance is used to establish a new approach to the study of projective geometry in Finsler space. It is shown that the projectively invariant distance previously defined is a constant…

We show that for an isometric immersion of a complete Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian manifold with non-positive curvature, the norm of the mean curvature vector field is square integrable, then it is minimal. This is a partial…

We show that in dimension 2 every Finsler metric with at least 3-dimensional Lie algebra of projective vector fields is locally projectively equivalent to a Randers metric. We give a short list of such Finsler metrics which is complete up…

For a torsion-free affine connection on a given manifold, which does not necessarily arise as the Levi-Civita connection of any pseudo-Riemannian metric, it is still possible that it corresponds in a canonical way to a Finsler structure;…
