In this paper, we define some non-Riemannian curvature properties for Cartan spaces. We consider Cartan space with the m-th root metric. We prove that every m-th root Cartan space of isotropic Landsberg curvature, or isotropic mean…
For a Kahler metric, the Riemannian scalar curvature is equal to twice the Chern scalar curvature. The question we address here is whether this equivalence can hold for a non-Kahler Hermitian metric. For such metrics, if they exist, the…
In 1929, Paul Funk and Ludwig Berwald gave a characterization of Hilbert geometries from the Finslerian viewpoint. They showed that a smooth Finsler metric in a convex bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^n$ is the Hilbert geometry in that domain…
Munteanu defined the canonical connection associated to a strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler manifold $(M,F)$. We first prove that the holomorphic sectional curvature tensors of the canonical connection coincide with those of the…
We study the space of Riemannian metrics with positive scalar curvature on a compact manifold with boundary. These metrics extend a fixed boundary metric and take a product structure on a collar neighbourhood of the boundary. We show that…
We study a special class of Finsler metrics which we refer to as Almost Rational Finsler metrics (shortly, AR-Finsler metrics). We give necessary and sufficient conditions for an AR-Finsler manifold $(M,F)$ to be Riemannian. The rationality…
In this paper, we consider different types of non-positive curvature properties of the Hilbert metric of a convex domain in R^n. First, we survey the relationships among the concepts and prove that in the case of Hilbert metric some of them…
In this paper we are dealing with quantitative Rellich inequalities on Finsler-Hadamard manifolds where the remainder terms are expressed by means of the flag curvature. By exploring various arguments from Finsler geometry and PDEs on…
Motivated by recent breathtaking progress in the synthetic study of Lorentzian geometry, we investigate the local concavity of time separation functions on Finsler spacetimes as a Lorentzian counterpart to Busemann's convexity in metric…
On the product of two Finsler manifolds M1 M2, we consider the twisted metric F which is construct by using Finsler metrics F1 and F2 on the manifolds M1 and M2, respectively. We introduce horizontal and vertical distributions on twisted…
In this paper, first we prove the existence of invariant vector field on a homogeneous Finsler space with infinite series $(\alpha, \beta)$-metric and exponential metric. Next, we deduce an explicit formula for the the $S$-curvature of…
The main aim of this article is to calculate explicit formula for S-curvature in homogeneous generalized m-Kropina metric. Further, we also deduce mean Berwald curvature for homogeneous generalized m-Kropina metric from S-curvature.
It is the Hilbert's Fourth Problem to characterize the (not-necessarily-reversible) distance functions on a bounded convex domain in R^n such that straight lines are shortest paths. Distance functions induced by a Finsler metric are…
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…
In this paper, we first deduce a formula of S-curvature of homogeneous Finsler spaces in terms of Killing vector fields. Then we prove that a homogeneous Finsler space has isotropic S-curvature if and only if it has vanishing S-curvature.…
In this paper, we use the flag curvature formula for homogeneous Finsler spaces in our previous work to classify odd dimensional smooth coset spaces admitting positively curved reversible homogeneous Finsler metrics. We will show that the…
Isotropic almost complex structures induce a class of Riemannian metrics on tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold. In this paper the curvature tensors of these metrics will be calculated.
We establish several inequalities for manifolds with positive scalar curvature and, more generally, for the scalar curvature bounded from below, in the spirit of the classical bound on the distances between conjugates points in surfaces…
We study Gauss curvature for random Riemannian metrics on a compact surface, lying in a fixed conformal class; our questions are motivated by comparison geometry. Next, analogous questions are considered for the scalar curvature in…
In this paper, we {\it find} the Finsler structure of the Apollonian weak metric on the open unit disc in $\mathbb{R}^2$, which turns out to be a Randers type Finsler structure and we call it as Apollonian weak-Finsler structure. In fact…
