In this paper, we investigate the Cartan torsion and mean Cartan torsion of the Minkowskian product of two Finsler metrics. We derive explicit formulas for both torsions and analyze their geometric behavior. In particular, we demonstrate…

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…

By using a certain second order differential equation, the notion of adapted coordinates on Finsler manifolds is defined and some classifications of complete Finsler manifolds are found. Some examples of Finsler metrics, with positive…

We prove that in a Finsler manifold with vanishing $\chi$-curvature (in particular with constant flag curvature) some non-Riemannian geometric structures are geodesically invariant and hence they induce a set of non-Riemannian first…

The notions of the interior and truncated connections of a nonholonomic manifold are introduced. A class of extended truncated connections is distinguished. For the case of a contact space with a Finsler metric, it is shown that there…
