We consider a special class of Finsler metrics --- square metrics which are defined by a Riemannian metric and a 1-form on a manifold. We show that an analogue of the Beltrami Theorem in Riemannian geometry is still true for square metrics…

We prove that if a metric measure space satisfies the volume doubling condition and the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality with the same exponent $n \ge 3$, then it has exactly the $n$-dimensional volume growth. As an application, if an…

The local structure of Finsler metrics of constant flag curvature have been historically mysterious. It is proved that every Matsumoto metric of constant flag curvature on a manifold of dimension n \geq 3 is either Riemannian or locally…

We compute the series expansions for the normal curvatures of hyperspheres, the Finsler and Rund curvatures of circles in Funk geometry as the radii tend to infinity. These three curvatures are different at infinity in Funk geometry.

The flag curvature is a natural Finsler extension of the sectional curvature in Riemannian geometry. However, there are many non-Riemannian quantities which interact with the flag curvature. In this paper, we introduce a notion of weighted…

A Finsler space is said to be geodesically reversible if each oriented geodesic can be reparametrized as a geodesic with the reverse orientation. A reversible Finsler space is geodesically reversible, but the converse need not be true. In…
