We give a Morse-theoretic characterization of simple closed geodesics on Riemannian $2$-spheres. On any Riemannian $2$-sphere endowed with a generic metric, we show there exists a simple closed geodesic with Morse index $1$, $2$ and $3$. In…
In this paper, we establish first the resonance identity for non-contractible homologically visible prime closed geodesics on Finsler $n$-dimensional real projective space $(\mathbb{R}P^n,F)$ when there exist only finitely many distinct…
We prove upper bounds for the Morse index and number of intersections of min-max geodesics achieving the $p$-widths of a closed surface. A key tool in our analysis is a proof that for a generic set of metrics, the tangent cone at any vertex…
In symplectic topology one uses elliptic methods to prove rigidity results about symplectic manifolds and solutions of Hamiltonian equations on them, where the most basic example is given by geodesics on Riemannian manifolds. Harmonic maps…
We study singularities of geodesics flows in two-dimensional generalized Finsler spaces (pseudo-Finsler spaces). Geodesics are defined as extremals of a certain auxiliary functional whose non-isotropic extremals coincide with extremals of…
We give in the present work a new methodology that allows to give isoperimetric proofs, for Kneser's Theorem and Kemperman's structure Theory and most sophisticated results of this type. As an illustration we present a new proof of Kneser's…
We study the necessary and sufficient conditions for a Finsler surface with $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics to be with reversible geodesics.
In this note we give a detailed proof of certain results on geometry of numbers in the $S$-adic case. These results are well-known to experts, so the aim here is to provide a convenient reference for the people who need to use them.
Finsler geometry is a natural generalization of (pseudo-)Riemannian geometry, where the line element is not the square root of a quadratic form but a more general homogeneous function. Parameterizing this in terms of symmetric tensors…
We give a proof of an unpublished result of Thurston showing that given any hyperbolic metric on a surface of finite type with nonempty boundary, there exists another hyperbolic metric on the same surface for which the lengths of all simple…
We explore a connection between the Finslerian area functional and well-investigated Cartan functionals to prove new Bernstein theorems, uniqueness and removability results for Finsler-minimal graphs, as well as enclosure theorems and…
We show that any two non-conjugate points on a forward or backward complete connected Finsler manifold can be joined by infinitely many geodesics which are not covered by finitely many closed ones, provided that the Betti numbers of the…
When a closed Finsler manifold admits continuous isometric actions, estimating the number of orbits of prime closed geodesics seems a more reasonable substitution for estimating the number of prime closed geodesics. To generalize the works…
This paper establishes a foundational framework for geometric learning in weighted projective spaces $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{q}}$ by introducing a hierarchical clustering algorithm governed by Finsler geometry. We define a scaling-invariant…
In this paper, we prove that for every Finsler $n$-dimensional sphere $(S^n,F), n\ge 3$ with reversibility $\lambda$ and flag curvature $K$ satisfying $\left(\frac{\lambda}{1+\lambda}\right)^2<K\le 1$, there exist at least three distinct…
Finslerian extension of the theory of relativity implies that space-time can be not only in an amorphous state which is described by Riemann geometry but also in ordered, i.e. crystalline states which are described by Finsler geometry.…
Biharmonic curves are a generalization of geodesics, with applications in elasticity theory and various branches of computer science. The paper proposes a first study of biharmonic curves in spaces with Finslerian geometry, covering the…
Conditions for the existence of closed geodesics is a classic, much-studied subject in Riemannian geometry, with many beautiful results and powerful techniques. However, many of the techniques that work so well in that context are far less…
A systematic approach has been developed to encompass the Minkowski-type extension of Euclidean geometry such that a one-vector anisotropy is permitted, retaining simultaneously the concept of angle. For the respective geometry, the…
In a previous paper [gr-qc/0104001; Class. Quant. Grav. 18 (2001) 3595-3610] we have shown that the occurrence of curved spacetime ``effective Lorentzian geometries'' is a generic result of linearizing an arbitrary classical field theory…
