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…
We define a manifold $M$ where objects $c\in M$ are curves, which we parameterize as $c:S^1\to R^n$ ($n\ge 2$, $S^1$ is the circle). Given a curve $c$, we define the tangent space $T_cM$ of $M$ at $c$ including in it all deformations…
We show that for a generic Riemannian or reversible Finsler metric on a compact differentiable manifold $M$ of dimension at least three all closed geodesics are simple and do not intersect each other. Using results by Contreras~\cite{C2010}…
Streets and Tian introduced a parabolic flow of pluriclosed metrics. We classify the long time behavior of homogeneous solutions of this flow on closed complex surfaces including minimal Hopf, Inoue, Kodaira, and non-Kahler, properly…
The present paper is devoted to the investigation of absolutely continuous curves in asymmetric metric spaces induced by Finsler structures. Firstly, for asymmetric spaces induced by Finsler manifolds, we show that three different kinds of…
We study triangulated surface models with nontrivial surface metrices for membranes. The surface model is defined by a mapping ${\bf r}$ from a two dimensional parameter space $M$ to the three dimensional Euclidean space ${\bf R}^3$. The…
We recall fundamental aspects of the pluriclosed flow equation and survey various existence and convergence results, and the various analytic techniques used to establish them. Building on this, we formulate a precise conjectural…
In metric-affine geometry, autoparallels are generically non-variational, i.e., they are not the extremals of any action integral. The existence of a parametrization-invariant action principle for autoparallels is a long-standing open…
Dilation surfaces are generalizations of translation surfaces where the transition maps of the atlas are translations and homotheties with a positive ratio. In contrast with translation surfaces, the directional flow on dilation surfaces…
Our results concern geometry of a manifold endowed with a pair of complementary orthogonal distributions (plane fields) and a time-dependent Riemannian metric. The work begins with formulae concerning deformations of geometric quantities as…

A short survey on the type numbers of closed geodesics, on applications of the Morse theory to proving the existence of closed geodesics and on the recent progress in applying variational methods to the periodic problem for Finsler and…
We study the cylindrical symmetric Finsler metrics. We obtain the system of differential equations of such metrics which are projectively flat. We give a family of solutions of this system. Examples are included.
This paper gives new insights into the class of Generalized Douglas Weyl ($GDW$)-metrics. This projective invariant class of Finsler metrics, contains some well-known Finsler metrics such as Douglas, Weyl and $R$-quadratic metrics. Here,…
The Finslerian unit ball is called the {\it Finsleroid} if the covering indicatrix is a space of constant curvature. We prove that Finsler spaces with such indicatrices possess the remarkable property that the tangent spaces are conformally…
Theorems and explicit examples are used to show how transformations between self-similar sets (general sense) may be continuous almost everywhere with respect to stationary measures on the sets and may be used to carry well known flows and…
Identifying parallel sides of a collection of Euclidean polygons yields a flat surface with cone points of angles multiples of 2 pi, naturally a compact Riemann surface but also an algebraic curve, and a hyperbolic surface. In general two…
In this paper we characterize sprays that are metrizable by Finsler functions of constant flag curvature. By solving a particular case of the Finsler metrizability problem we provide the necessary and sufficient conditions that can be used…
It is conjectured that the only integrable metrics on the two-dimensional torus are Liouville metrics. In this paper, we study a deformative version of this conjecture: We consider integrable deformations of a non-flat Liouville metric in a…
The paper proposes extensions of the usual notions of Finslerian volume to time orientable Finsler spacetime manifolds. The basic idea is to replace, in the classical Busemann-Hausdorff and Holmes-Thompson definitions, integration on the…
