We study extrinsic geometry of a codimension-one foliation ${\cal F}$ of a closed Finsler space $(M,F)$, in particular, of a Randers space $(M,\alpha+\beta)$. Using a unit vector field $\nu$ orthogonal (in the Finsler sense) to the leaves…
For the general class of pseudo-Finsler spaces with $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions such that these admit a Finsler spacetime structure. This means that the fundamental tensor has Lorentzian…
In this paper, we study general $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics which $\alpha$ is a Riemannian metric and $\beta$ is an one-form. We have proven that every weak Landsberg general $(\alpha,\beta)$-metric is a Berwald metric, where $\beta$ is a…
We investigate the local metrizability of Finsler spaces with $m$-Kropina metric $F = \alpha^{1+m}\beta^{-m}$, where $\beta$ is a closed null 1-form. We show that such a space is of Berwald type if and only if the (pseudo-)Riemannian metric…
In this paper, we introduce and investigate a general transformation or change of Finsler metrics, which is referred to as a generalized $\beta$-conformal change: $$L(x,y) \longrightarrow\overline{L}(x,y) =…
We classify all smooth flat Riemannian metrics on the two-dimensional plane. In the complete case, it is well-known that these metrics are isometric to the Euclidean metric. In the incomplete case, there is an abundance of…
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…
Let $X$ be a complex projective manifold and let $D\subset X$ be a smooth divisor. In this article, we are interested in studying limits when $\beta\to 0$ of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics $\omega_\beta$ with a cone singularity of angle $2\pi…
In this paper we study lifted left invariant $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics of Douglas type on tangent Lie groups. Let $G$ be a Lie group equipped with a left invariant $(\alpha,\beta)$-metric of Douglas type $F$, induced by a left invariant…
We define a class of two dimensional surfaces conformally related to minimal surfaces in flat three dimensional geometries. By the utility of the metrics of such surfaces we give a construction of the metrics of $2 N$ dimensional Ricci flat…
This paper contributes to the study of the Matsumoto metric F=alpha^2/beta, where the alpha is a Riemannian metric and the beta is a one form. It is shown that such a Matsumoto metric F is of scalar flag curvature if and only if F is…
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…
Riemannian coordinates for flat metrics corresponding to three--dimensional conformal Poisson--Lie T--dualizable sigma models are found by solving partial differential equations that follow from the transformations of the connection…
For a fairly general class of two-dimensional tiling substitutions, we prove that if the length expansion $\beta$ is a Pisot number, then the tilings defined by the substitution must be locally finite. We also give a simple example of a…
We provide a new definition of a local walk dimension $\beta$ that depends only on the metric and not on the existence of a particular regular Dirichlet form or heat kernel asymptotics. Moreover, we study the local Hausdorff dimension…
For the distance function from any closed subset of any complete Finsler manifold, we prove that the singular set is equal to a countable union of delta-convex hypersurfaces up to an exceptional set of codimension two. In addition, in…
Labourie and the author independently showed that a convex real projective structure on an oriented surface of genus at least 2 is equivalent to a conformal structure plus a holomorphic cubic differential U. We analyze the behavior of the…
We show that the second greatest possible dimension of the group of (local) almost isometries of a Finsler metric is $\frac{n^2 -n}{2} +1$ for $n= dim(M)\ne 4 $ and $\frac{n^2 -n}{2} +2 =8$ for $n=4$. If a Finsler metric has the group of…
In this paper we show that the topological closure of the holonomy group of a certain class of projectively flat Finsler 2-manifolds of constant curvature is maximal, that is isomorphic to the connected component of the diffeomorphism group…
The solution of the Lax tensor equations in the case $L_{\alpha\beta\gamma}=-L_{\beta\alpha\gamma}$ was analyzed. The Lax tensors on the dual metrics were investigated. We classified all two dimensional metrics having the symmetric Lax…
