A Clifford-Wolf translation of a connected Finsler space is an isometry which moves each point the sam distance. A Finsler space $(M, F)$ is called Clifford-Wolf homogeneous if for any two point $x_1, x_2\in M$ there is a Clifford-Wolf…
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…
In this paper, we introduce a new type of Finsler metrics, called $(\alpha_1,\alpha_2)$-metrics. We define the notion of the good datum of a homogeneous $(\alpha_1,\alpha_2)$-metric and use that to study the geometric properties. In…

This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to a crucial sign error in equation 1. An isometry $\rho$ of a connected Finsler space $(M, F)$ is called bounded if the function $d(x, \rho(x))$ is bounded on $M$. It is called a…
Let $(M,F)$ be a connected Finsler space and $d$ the distance function of $(M,F)$. A Clifford translation is an isometry $\rho$ of $(M,F)$ of constant displacement, in other words such that $d(x,\rho(x))$ is a constant function on $M$. In…
In this paper, we study Clifford-Wolf translations of Finsler spaces. We first give a characterization of Clifford-Wolf translations of Finsler spaces in terms of Killing vector fields. In particular, we show that there is a natural…
In this paper, we study Clifford-Wolf translations of homogeneous Randers metrics on spheres. It turns out that we can present a complete description of all the Clifford-Wolf translations of all the homogeneous Randers metrics on spheres.…
This work generalizes the results of an earlier paper by the second author, from Randers metrics to $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics. Let $F$ be an $(\alpha,\beta)$-metric which is defined by a left invariant vector field and a left invariant…
We give the explicit formulas of the flag curvatures of left invariant Matsumoto and Kropina metrics of Berwald type. We can see these formulas are different from previous results given recently. Using these formulas, we prove that at any…
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…
In this paper, we generalize the Heintze-Kobayashi-Wolf theory to homogeneous Finsler geometry, by proving two main theorems. First, any connected negatively curved homogeneous Finsler manifold is isometric to a Lie group endowed with a…
In this paper, using connections between Clifford-Wolf isometries and Killing vector fields of constant length on a given Riemannian manifold, we classify simply connected Clifford-Wolf homogeneous Riemannian manifolds. We also get the…
In this paper, we give the flag curvature formula of general $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics of Berwald type. We study conformally related $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics, especially general $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics that are conformally related to…
A Finsler space $(M,F)$ is called flag-wise positively curved, if for any $x\in M$ and any tangent plane $\mathbf{P}\subset T_xM$, we can find a nonzero vector $y\in \mathbf{P}$, such that the flag curvature $K^F(x,y, \mathbf{P})>0$. Though…
We construct a counter example to show that the Homogeneity Conjecture, first proposed by J.A. Wolf in 1962, is not true. To be precise, we prove that on the Lie group Sp(2), there exists a left invariant Riemannian metric and a cyclic…
A smooth curve on $G/H$ is called a Riemannian equigeodesic if it is a homogeneous geodesic for all $G$-invariant Riemannian metrics on $G/H$. With the $G$-invariant Riemannian metric replaced by other classes of $G$-invariant metrics, we…
In this paper, we generalize the notion of cyclic metric to homogeneous Finsler geometry. Firstly, we prove that a homogeneous Finsler space $(G/H, F)$ must be symmetric when it satisfies the naturally reductive and cyclic conditions…
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…
The automorphism group of the Barnes-Wall lattice L_m in dimension 2^m (m not 3) is a subgroup of index 2 in a certain ``Clifford group'' C_m (an extraspecial group of order 2^(1+2m) extended by an orthogonal group). This group and its…
