In Theorem 1, we generalize the results of Szabo for Berwald metrics that are not necessary strictly convex: we show that for every Berwald metric F there always exists a Riemannian metric affine equivalent to F. As an application we show…

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…

We prove that every Berwald manifold with non-zero flag curvature is Riemannian. This result provides an extension of Numata and Szabo's rigidity theorems. We show that every positively curved constant isotropic Berwald manifold is…

In this paper, we study a class of Finsler metrics called general $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics, which are defined by a Riemannian metric $\alpha$ and a $1$-form $\beta$. We classify this class of Finsler metrics with isotropic Berwald curvature…

Finsler metrics are direct generalizations of Riemannian metrics such that the quadratic Riemannian indicatrices in the tangent spaces of a manifold are replaced by more general convex bodies as unit spheres. A linear connection on the base…

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…

Let (M_1,F_1) and (M_2,F_2) be a pair of Finsler manifolds. The Minkowskian product Finsler manifold (M,F) of (M_1,F_1) and (M_2,F_2) with respect to a product function f is the product manifold M=M_1\times M_2 endowed with the Finsler…

In this paper, the Cartan tensors of the $(\alpha,\beta)$-norms are investigated in details. Then an equivalence theorem of $(\alpha,\beta)$-norms is proved. As a consequence in Finsler geometry, general $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics on smooth…

In this paper, a class of holomorphic invariant metrics is introduced on the irreducible classical domains of type I-IV, which are strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler metrics in the strict sense of M. Abate and G. Patrizio[2]. These…

In this short article, using a left-invariant Randers metric $F$, we define a new left-invariant Randers metric $\tilde{F}$. We show that $F$ is of Berwald (Douglas) type if and only if $\tilde{F}$ is of Berwald (Douglas) type. In the case…

In this paper, as an application of the inverse problem of calculus of variations, we investigate two compatibility conditions on the spherically symmetric Finsler metrics. By making use of these conditions, we focus our attention on the…

We investigate whether Szabo's metrizability theorem can be extended to Finsler spaces of indefinite signature. For smooth, positive definite Finsler metrics, this important theorem states that, if the metric is of Berwald type (i.e., its…

Let $F: T^{1,0}M\rightarrow[0,+\infty)$ be a strongly convex complex Finsler metric on a complex manifold $M$ and $\pmb{J}$ the canonical complex structure on the complex manifold $T^{1,0}M$. We give a geometric characterization of strongly…

In this paper, we prove two rigidity results for non-positively curved homogeneous Finsler metrics. Our first main result yields an extension of Hu-Deng's well-known result proven for the Randers metrics. Indeed, we prove that every…

We show that monochromatic Finsler metrics, i.e., Finsler metrics such that each two tangent spaces are isomorphic as normed spaces, are generalized Berwald metrics, i.e., there exists an affine connection, possibly with torsion, that…

In this paper, studying the inverse problem, we establish a curvature compatibility condition on a spherically symmetric Finsler metric. As an application, we characterize the spherically symmetric metrics of scalar curvature. We construct…
