Suppose $(X,J,\omega)$ is a Fano manifold and $t \to r_t$ is a diverging K\"ahler-Ricci trajectory. We construct a bounded geodesic ray $t \to u_t$ weakly asymptotic to $t \to r_t$, along which Ding's $\mathcal F$-functional decreases,…

We prove that various Finsler metrizability problems for sprays can be reformulated in terms of the geodesic invariance of two tensors (metric and angular). We show that gyroscopic sprays is the the largest class of sprays with geodesic…

In this paper we characterize sprays that are metrizable by Finsler functions of constant flag curvature. By solving a particular case of the Finsler metrizability problem we provide the necessary and sufficient conditions that can be used…
