We consider geometries on the space of Riemannian metrics conformally equivalent to the widely studied Ebin L^2 metric. Among these we characterize a distinguished metric that can be regarded as a generalization of Calabi's metric on the…

The (pseudo-)Riemann-metrizability and Ricci-flatness of Finsler spaces with $m$-Kropina metric $F = \alpha^{1+m}\beta^{-m}$ of Berwald type are investigated. We prove that the affine connection on $F$ can locally be understood as the…

This paper is devoted to the study of the T-tensor associated with a spherically symmetric Finsler metric $F=u\phi(r,s)$ on \(\mathbb{R}^n\). We derive a general expression for the T-tensor in terms of the scalar function \(\phi(r, s)\) and…

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be two Furstenberg transformations on 2-torus associated with irrational numbers $\theta_1,$ $\theta_2,$ integers $d_1, d_2$ and Lipschitz functions $f_1$ and $f_2.$ We show that $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are…

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…

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…

We prove that a Finsler metric is nonpositively curved in the sense of Busemann if and only if it is affinely equivalent to a Riemannian metric of nonpositive sectional curvature. In other terms, such Finsler metrics are precisely Berwald…
