On a compact manifold with boundary, the map consisting of the scalar curvature in the interior and the mean curvature on the boundary is a local surjection at generic metrics. We prove that this result may be localized to compact…

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…

Robert Bryant (Theorie des varietes minimales et applications, 1988, 154: 321-347) proved that an isolated singularity of a conformal metric of positive constant curvature on a Riemann surface is a conical one. Using Complex Analysis, we…

On a Finsler manifold $(M,L)$, we consider the change $L\longrightarrow\bar{L}(x,y)=e^{\sigma(x)}L(x,y)+\beta (x,y)$, which we call a $\beta$-conformal change. This change generalizes various types of changes in Finsler geometry: conformal,…

In this note we study the conformal metrics of constant $Q$ curvature on closed locally conformally flat manifolds. We prove that for a closed locally conformally flat manifold of dimension $n\geq 5$ and with Poincar\"{e} exponent less than…

Berwald metrics are particular Finsler metrics which still have linear Berwald connections. Their complete classification is established in an earlier work, [Sz1], of this author. The main tools in these classification are the Simons-Berger…

In this paper we identify all simply connected 3-dimensional real Lie groups which admit Randers or Matsumoto metrics of Berwald type with a certain underlying left invariant Riemannian metric. Then we give their flag curvatures formulas…

This paper is a continuation of our investigation of the anisotropic conformal change of a conic pseudo-Finsler surface $(M,F)$, namely, the change $\overline{F}(x,y)=e^{\phi(x,y)}F(x,y)$ \cite{first paper}. We obtain the relationship…

For a conformal vector field on a closed, real-analytic, Lorentzian manifold we prove that the flow is locally isometric -- that it preserves a metric in the conformal class on a neighborhood of any point -- or the metric is everywhere…

We show that small perturbations of the metric of a ball in Euclidean n-space to metrics with nonpositive curvature do not reduce the isoperimetric ratio. Furthermore, the isoperimetric ratio is preserved only if the perturbation…

A classic result by Gromov and Lawson states that a Riemannian metric of non--negative scalar curvature on the Torus must be flat. The analogous rigidity result for the standard sphere was shown by Llarull. Later Goette and Semmelmann…

Consider a closed Riemannian $n$-manifold $M$ admitting a negatively curved Riemannian metric. We show that for every Riemannian metric on $M$ of sufficiently small volume, there is a point in the universal cover of $M$ such that the volume…

Consider a compact Riemannian manifold M of dimension n whose boundary \partial M is totally geodesic and is isometric to the standard sphere S^{n-1}. A natural conjecture of Min-Oo asserts that if the scalar curvature of M is at least…
