We prove that, for a Finsler space, if the weighted Ricci curvature is bounded below by a positive number and the diam attains its maximal value, then it is isometric to a standard Finsler sphere. As an application, we show that the first…

Finsler geometry is a natural and fundamental generalization of Riemann geometry. The Finsler structure depends on both coordinates and velocities. It is defined as a function on tangent bundle of a manifold. We use the Bianchi identities…

A detailed study of the notions of convexity for a hypersurface in a Finsler manifold is carried out. In particular, the infinitesimal and local notions of convexity are shown to be equivalent. Our approach differs from Bishop's one in his…

We apply topological methods and a Lusternik-Schnirelmann-type approach to prove existence results for closed geodesics of Finsler metrics on spheres and projective spaces. The main tool in the proofs are spherical complexities, which have…

We prove a version of Myers-Steenrod's theorem for Finsler manifolds under minimal regularity hypothesis. In particular we show that an isometry between $C^{k,\alpha}$-smooth (or partially smooth) Finsler metrics, with $k+\alpha>0$, $k\in…

In this paper, we answer some natural questions on symmetrisation and more general combinations of Finsler metrics, with a view towards applications to Funk and Hilbert geometries and to metrics on Teichm{\"u}ller spaces. For a general…

The generalized Finsler geometry, as well as Finsler geometry, is a generalization of Riemann geometry. The generalized Finsler geometry can be endowed with the Cartan connection. The generalized Finsler geometry and its Cartan connection…

For every Finsler metric $F$ we associate a Riemannian metric $g_F$ (called the Binet-Legendre metric). The transformation $F \mapsto g_F$ is $C^0$-stable and has good smoothness properties, in contrast to previous constructions. The…

We use two non-Riemannian curvature tensors, the $\chi$-curvature and the mean Berwald curvature to characterise a class of Finsler metrics admitting first integrals.

We briefly review some basic concepts of parallel displacement in Finsler geometry. In general relativity, the parallel translation of objects along the congruence of the fundamental observer corresponds to the evolution in time. By…

We develop a Bochner theory and Bakry-Emery calculus for horizontal Laplacians associated with general Riemannian foliations. No bundle-like assumption on the metric, nor any total geodesicity or minimality condition on the leaves is…

We introduce a new geometric approach to a manifold equipped with a smooth density function that takes a torsion-free affine connection, as opposed to a weighted measure or Laplacian, as the fundamental object of study. The connection…

We prove sectional and Ricci-type comparison theorems for the existence of conjugate points along sub-Riemannian geodesics. In order to do that, we regard sub-Riemannian structures as a special kind of variational problems. In this setting,…
