In this paper, it is proved that any conformal vector field is homothetic on a locally projectively flat $(\alpha,\beta)$-space of non-Randers type in dimension $n\ge 3$, and the local solutions of such a vector field are determined. While…

We show that if a Finsler space is conformally automorphic to a Riemannian space and the automorphism is positively homogeneous with respect to tangent vectors, then the indicatrix of the Finsler space is a space of constant curvature. In…

This paper introduces a new metric and mean on the set of positive semidefinite matrices of fixed-rank. The proposed metric is derived from a well-chosen Riemannian quotient geometry that generalizes the reductive geometry of the positive…
