In the standard approach to Finsler geometry the metric is defined as a vertical Hessian and the Chern or Cartan connections appear as just two among many possible natural linear connections on the pullback tangent bundle. Here it is shown…
On a convex body in a Euclidean space, we introduce a new variational formulation for its Funk metric, a Finsler metric compatible with the tautological Finsler structure of the convex body. We generalize the metric on Teichmuller spaces…
For a standard Finsler metric F on a manifold M, its domain is the whole tangent bundle TM and its fundamental tensor g is positive-definite. However, in many cases (for example, the well-known Kropina and Matsumoto metrics), these two…
In the present paper, we introduce and investigate various types of harmonic Finsler manifolds and find out the interrelation between them. We give some characterizations of such spaces in terms of the mean curvature of geodesic spheres and…
This paper presents a distance function between sets based on an average of distances between their elements. The distance function is a metric if the sets are non-empty finite subsets of a metric space. It can be applied to produce various…
In this paper we consider symmetric cones as symmetric spaces equipped with invariant Finsler distances, namely the Thompson distance and the Hilbert distance. We establish a correspondence between the horofunction compactification of a…
We define compatible Finsler distances on $1/n$-translation surfaces, we study their geodesics, and construct a Liouville current for each such metric, that is a geodesic current that encodes the information of the length of the closed…
There are two natural metrics defined on an arbitrary convex cone: Thompson's part metric and Hilbert's projective metric. For both, we establish an inequality giving information about how far the metric is from being non-positively curved.
We reprove the well known fact that the energy distance defines a metric on the space of Borel probability measures on a Hilbert space with finite first moment by a new approach, by analyzing the behavior of the Gaussian kernel on Hilbert…
We provide a good dynamical framework allowing to generalize Thurston's asymmetric metric and the associated Finsler norm from Teichm\"uller space to large classes of Anosov representations. In many cases, including the space of Hitchin…
In this paper, we explore the similarity between normal homogeneity and $\delta$-homogeneity in Finsler geometry. They are both non-negatively curved Finsler spaces. We show that any connected $\delta$-homogeneous Finsler space is…
Dimensionality reduction is a fundamental task that aims to simplify complex data by reducing its feature dimensionality while preserving essential patterns, with core applications in data analysis and visualisation. To preserve the…
We obtain some results in both Lorentz and Finsler geometries, by using a correspondence between the conformal structure (Causality) of standard stationary spacetimes on $M=\R\times S$ and Randers metrics on $S$. In particular, for…
We provide sharp estimates for the intrinsic distances of Finsler metrics with precise boundary estimates. These metrics include the Kobayashi-Hilbert metric near strongly convex points, the minimal metric near convex and strongly minimally…
A flat membrane with given shape is displayed; two points in the membrane are randomly selected; the probability that the separation between the points have a specified value is sought. A simple method to evaluate the probability density is…
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…
This report introduces and investigates a family of metrics on sets of pointed Kripke models. The metrics are generalizations of the Hamming distance applicable to countably infinite binary strings and, by extension, logical theories or…
In his famous 1981 paper, Lempert proved that given a point in a strongly convex domain the complex geodesics (i.e., the extremal disks) for the Kobayashi metric passing through that point provide a very useful fibration of the domain. In…
We study the noncommutative geometry of the Moyal plane from a metric point of view. Starting from a non compact spectral triple based on the Moyal deformation A of the algebra of Schwartz functions on R^2, we explicitly compute Connes'…
We study the necessary and sufficient conditions for a Finsler surface with $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics to be with reversible geodesics.
