In the recent articles \cite{PSU1,PSU3}, a number of tensor tomography results were proved on two-dimensional manifolds. The purpose of this paper is to extend some of these methods to manifolds of any dimension. A central concept is the…
We study several constrained variational problem in the 2-Wasserstein metric for which the set of probability densities satisfying the constraint is not closed. For example, given a probability density $F_0$ on $\R^d$ and a time-step $h>0$,…
If all prime closed geodesics on $(S^n,F)$ with an irreversible Finsler metric $F$ are irrationally elliptic, there exist either exactly $2\left[\frac{n+1}{2}\right]$ or infinitely many distinct closed geodesics. As an application, we show…

We first introduce a class of divergence measures between power spectral density matrices. These are derived by comparing the suitability of different models in the context of optimal prediction. Distances between "infinitesimally close"…
For non-reversible Finsler metrics of positive flag curvature on spheres and projective spaces we present results about the number and the length of closed geodesics and about their stability properties.
A projective parameter of a geodesic on a Finsler space is defined to be solution of a certain ODE. Using projective parameter and Funk metric, one can construct a projectively invariant intrinsic pseudo-distance on a Finsler space. In the…
This paper presents a new type of surface models constructed on the basis of Finsler geometry. A Finsler metric is defined on the surface by using an underlying vector field, which is an in-plane tilt order. According to the orientation of…
It is shown that unlike the perfect fluid case, anisotropic fluids (principal stresses unequal) may be geodesic, without this implying the vanishing of (spatial) pressure gradients. Then the condition of vanishing four acceleration is…
In this paper, we prove that for every Finsler metric on the 2-dimensional sphere there exist at least two distinct prime closed geodesics. For the case of the two-sphere, this solves an open problem posed by D. V. Anosov in 1974.
We show the flexibility of the metric entropy and obtain additional restrictions on the topological entropy of geodesic flow on closed surfaces of negative Euler characteristic with smooth non-positively curved Riemannian metrics with fixed…
Given a Finsler space, we introduce a system of partial differential equations, called the Landsberg equation. Based on a careful analysis of the Landsberg equation and the observation that the solution space is invariant under the linear…
We examine the question of scale versus conformal invariance on maximally symmetric curved backgrounds and study general 2-derivative conformally invariant free theories of vectors and tensors. For spacetime dimension $D>4$, these conformal…
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…
Motivated by the study of wave fronts in anisotropic media, we propose an incidence geometry of anisotropic spheres in a Finsler-Minkowski space. An anisotropic version of the Laguerre functional is considered. In some circumstances, this…
A version of the tangential LS category is introduced for topological laminations with a transverse invariant measure. Here, we use the transverse measure of the contraction of a tangential categorical open set instead of counting this set.…
In this paper, we consider a Finsler space with a Randers change of Quartic metric F = $\sqrt[4]{\alpha^4 + \beta^4} + \beta$. The conditions for this space to be with reversible geodesics are obtained. Further, we study some geometrical…
We study $L^\infty$-variational problems associated to measurable Finsler structures in Euclidean spaces. We obtain existence and uniqueness results for the absolute minimizers.
The existence of at least two homogeneous geodesics in any homogeneous Finsler manifold was proved in a previous paper by the author. The examples of solvable Lie groups with invariant Finsler metric which admit just two homogeneous…
Let ({\Sigma}, g) be a compact $C^2$ finslerian 3-manifold. If the geodesic flow of g is completely integrable, and the singular set is a tamely-embedded polyhedron, then ${\pi}_1({\Sigma})$ is almost polycyclic. On the other hand, if…
