In this paper we describe an approach to complex Finsler metrics suitable to deal with global questions, and stressing the similarities between hermitian and complex Finsler metrics. Let $F$ be a smooth complex Finsler metric on a complex…
In this paper, we answer some natural questions on symmetrisation and more general combinations of Finsler metrics, with a view towards applications to Funk and Hilbert geometries and to metrics on Teichm{\"u}ller spaces. For a general…
Modern formulation of Finsler geometry of a manifold M utilizes the equivalence between this geometry and the Riemannian geometry of VTM, the vertical bundle over the tangent bundle of M, treating TM as the base space. We argue that this…
In this paper, we explore the similarity between normal homogeneity and $\delta$-homogeneity in Finsler geometry. They are both non-negatively curved Finsler spaces. We show that any connected $\delta$-homogeneous Finsler space is…
Finsler metrics are direct generalizations of Riemannian metrics such that the quadratic Riemannian indicatrices in the tangent spaces of a manifold are replaced by more general convex bodies as unit spheres. A linear connection on the base…
A Riemannian metric is of constant curvature if and only if it is locally projectively flat. There are infinitely many locally projectively flat Finsler metrics of constant curvature, that are special solutions to the Hilbert's Fourth…
In Theorem 1, we generalize the results of Szabo for Berwald metrics that are not necessary strictly convex: we show that for every Berwald metric F there always exists a Riemannian metric affine equivalent to F. As an application we show…
Given a Finsler space (M,F) on a manifold M, the averaging method associates to Finslerian geometric objects affine geometric objects} living on $M$. In particular, a Riemannian metric is associated to the fundamental tensor $g$ and an…
A method to generalize results from Riemannian Geometry to Finsler geometry is presented. We use the method to generalize several results that involve only metric conditions. Between them we show that the topology induced by the Finsler…
The sub-Finslerian geometry means that the metric $F$ is defined only on a given subbundle of the tangent bundle, called a horizontal bundle. In the paper, a version of the Hopf-Rinow theorem is proved in the case of sub-Finslerian…
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…
It is the Hilbert's Fourth Problem to characterize the (not-necessarily-reversible) distance functions on a bounded convex domain in R^n such that straight lines are shortest paths. Distance functions induced by a Finsler metric are…
A new geometrical definition of naturally reductive Finsler manifold using geodeic graph is proposed, with a possible generalization. Based on a construction from a recent paper by the authors, Finsler metrics based on naturally reductive…
Let $ G $ be a connected Lie group with real Lie algebra $ \mathfrak{g}$. Suppose $G$ is also a complex manifold. We obtain explicit holomorphic sectional and bisectional curvature formulas of left-invariant strongly pseudoconvex complex…
Our goal of this paper is to give a complete characterization of all holomorphic invariant strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler metrics on the classical domains and establish a corresponding Schwarz lemma for holomorphic mappings with…
We prove a version of Myers-Steenrod's theorem for Finsler manifolds under minimal regularity hypothesis. In particular we show that an isometry between $C^{k,\alpha}$-smooth (or partially smooth) Finsler metrics, with $k+\alpha>0$, $k\in…
The goal of this short paper is to give condition for the completeness of the Binet-Legendre metric in Finsler geometry. The case of the Funk and Hilbert metrics in a convex domain are discussed.
A smooth curve on a homogeneous manifold $G/H$ is called a Riemannian equigeo-desic if it is a homogeneous geodesic for any $G$-invariant Riemannian metric. The homogeneous manifold $G/H$ is called Riemannian equigeodesic, if for any $x\in…
A Finsler metric is geodesically reversible if geodesics remain geodesics after a change of orientation. Asymmetric norms on vector spaces and Funk metrics in the interior of convex bodies are examples of geodesically reversible metrics…
Homogeneous geodesics of homogeneous Finsler metrics derived from two or more Riemannian geodesic orbit metrics are investigated. For a broad newly defined family of positively related Riemannian geodesic orbit metrics, geodesic lemma is…
