The local structure of Finsler metrics of constant flag curvature have been historically mysterious. It is proved that every Matsumoto metric of constant flag curvature on a manifold of dimension n \geq 3 is either Riemannian or locally…

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…

In this paper, we construct the Funk-Finsler structure in various models of the hyperbolic plane. In particular, in the unit disc of the Klein model, it turns out to be a Randers metric, which is a non-Berwald Douglas metric. Further, using…

In this paper we study isometry-invariant Finsler metrics on inner product spaces over $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$, i.e. the Finsler metrics which do not change under the action of all isometries of the inner product space. We give a new…

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, a class of holomorphic invariant metrics is introduced on the irreducible classical domains of type I-IV, which are strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler metrics in the strict sense of M. Abate and G. Patrizio[2]. These…

In this paper, we introduce horizontal and vertical warped product Finsler manifold. We prove that every C-reducible or proper Berwaldian doubly warped product Finsler manifold is Riemannian. Then, we find the relation between Riemmanian…

In this paper, first we derive an explicit formula for the flag curvature of a homogeneous Finsler space with infinite series $(\alpha, \beta)$-metric and exponential metric. Next, we deduce it for naturally reductive homogeneous Finsler…

For Finsler spaces (M,F) endowed with m-th root metrics, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions in which they are projectively flat, or projectively related to Berwald/Riemann spaces. We also give a specific characterization for…

In this paper, we use a Killing form on a Riemannian manifold to construct a class of Finsler metrics. We find equations that characterize Einstein metrics among this class. In particular, we construct a family of Einstein metrics on $S^3$…

An isometry of a Finsler space is called Clifford-Wolf translation (CW-translation) if it moves all points the same distance. A Finsler space $(M, F)$ is called Clifford-Wolf homogeneous (CW-homogeneous) if for any $x, y\in M$ there is a…

We classify homogeneous reversible Finsler metrics with positive Flag curvature. We show that if G/H admits a G invariant reversible Finsler metric with positive Flag curvature, then up to a few low dimensional spaces, it also admits a G…

A Finsler space is said to be geodesically reversible if each oriented geodesic can be reparametrized as a geodesic with the reverse orientation. A reversible Finsler space is geodesically reversible, but the converse need not be true. In…

In this paper, we study one of the open problems in Finsler geometry which presented by Matsumoto-Shimada about the existence of P-reducible metric which is not C-reducible. For this aim, we study a class of Finsler metrics called…

Hilbert's fourth problem seeks the classification of metric geometries where straight lines are shortest paths. Its regular case identifies the projectively flat Finsler manifolds. This broader framework breaks the equivalence between…

In the present paper, the flag curvature of invariant Randers metrics on homogeneous spaces and Lie groups is studied. We first give an explicit formula for the flag curvature of invariant Randers metrics arising from invariant Riemannian…

Every Finsler metric naturally induces a spray but not so for the converse. The notion for sprays of scalar (resp. isotropic) curvature has been known as a generalization for Finsler metrics of scalar (resp. isotropic) flag curvature. In…

The current paper deals with some new classes of Finsler metrics with reversible geodesics. We construct weighted quasi-metrics associated with these metrics. Further, we investigate some important geometric properties of weighted…

We consider a triality between the Zermelo navigation problem, the geodesic flow on a Finslerian geometry of Randers type, and spacetimes in one dimension higher admitting a timelike conformal Killing vector field. From the latter…

We determine all Finsler metrics of Randers type for which the Riemannian part is a scalar multiple of the Euclidean metric, on an open subset of the Euclidean plane, whose geodesics are circles. We show that the Riemannian part must be of…
