We show that the metrical connection can be introduced in the two-dimensional Finsler space such that entailed parallel transports along curves joining points of the underlying manifold keep the two-vector angle as well as the length of the…
We formulate the notion of the Finsleroid--Finsler space, including the positive--definite as well as indefinite cases. The associated concepts of angle, scalar product, and the distance function are elucidated. If the Finsleroid--Finsler…

When a single time-like vector is distinguished geometrically to present the only preferred direction in extending the pseudoeuclidean geometry, the hyperboloid may not be regarded as an exact carrier of the unit-vector image. So under…
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…
The Finsler spaces in which the tangent Riemannian spaces are conformally flat prove to be characterized by the condition that the indicatrix is a space of constant curvature. In such spaces the Finslerian normalized two-vector angle can be…
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…

The general notion of anisotropic connections $\nabla$ is revisited, including its precise relations with the standard setting of pseudo-Finsler metrics, i.e., the canonic nonlinear connection and the (linear) Finslerian connections. In…
The Finslerian extension of the Euclidean metric is proposed and studied under rigorous conditions that the associated indicatrix is regular and convex. The relativistic pseudo-Euclidean metric is extended, too. The extensions show distinct…
The Finsleroid-Finsler space is constructed over an underlying Riemannian space by the help of a scalar $g(x)$ and an input 1-form $b$ of unit length. Explicit form of the entailed tensors, as well as the respective spray coefficients, is…

The class of the two-axes pseudo-Finslerian metrics which is specified by the condition of the angle-separation in the involved characteristic functions is proposed and studied. The complete Total Set of algebraic and differential equations…
The linear transports along paths in vector bundles introduced in Ref. [1] are applied to the special case of tensor bundles over a given differentiable manifold. Links with the transports along paths generated by derivations of tensor…
In this paper we prove that a Finsler metrics has constant flag curvature if and only if the curvature of the induced nonlinear connection satisfies an algebraic identity with respect to some arbitrary second rank tensors. Such algebraic…
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…
Given a Finsler space, we introduce a system of partial differential equations, called the Landsberg equation. Based on a careful analysis of the Landsberg equation and the observation that the solution space is invariant under the linear…
By performing required evaluations, we show that in the Finsleroid-regular space the Landsberg-space condition just degenerates to the Berwald-space condition (at any dimension number $N\ge2$). Simple and clear expository representations…
The (parallel linear) transports in tensor spaces generated by derivations of the tensor algebra along paths are axiomatically described. Certain their properties are investigated. Transports along paths defined by derivations of the tensor…
We introduce the anisotropic tensor calculus, which is a way of handling with tensors that depend on the direction remaining always in the same class. This means that the derivative of an anisotropic tensor is a tensor of the same type. As…
