In this paper, we study Randers metrics and find a condition on Ricci tensor of these metrics to be Berwaldian. This generalize Shen's Theorem which says: every R-{\deg}at complete Randers metric is locally Minkowskian. Then we find a…

In this Note, we prove that every m-th root Finsler metric with isotropic Landsberg curvature reduces to a Landsberg metric. Then, we show that every m-th root metric with almost vanishing H-curvature has vanishing H-curvature.

A Randers space is a differentiable manifold equipped with a Randers metric. It is the sum of a Riemannian metric and a one-form on the base manifold. The compatibility of a linear connection with the metric means that the parallel…

The contribution of this paper is two-fold. The first one is to derive a simple formula of the mean curvature form for a hypersurface in the Randers space with a Killing field, by considering the Busemann-Hausdorff measure and…

Suppose that $n\neq p^k$ and $n\neq 2p^k$ for all $k$ and all primes $p$. We prove that for any Hausdorff compactum $X$ with a free action of the symmetric group $\mathfrak S_n$ there exists an $\mathfrak S_n$-equivariant map $X \to…

The Weil-Petersson metric for the moduli space of Riemann surfaces has negative sectional curvature. Surfaces represented in the complement of a compact set in the moduli space have short geodesics. At such surfaces the Weil-Petersson…

Let $X$ be a smooth complete curve, and let $Bun_n$ be the moduli stack of rank $n$ vector bundles on $X$. Let $E$ be a local system on $X$. In a recent paper of E.Frenkel, K.Vilonen and the author, it was shown that the vanishing of a…
