In this paper, we first give two fundamental principles under a technique to characterize conformal vector fields of $(\alpha,\beta)$ spaces to be homothetic and determine the local structure of those homothetic fields. Then we use the…
I do not agree with the authors of papers arXiv:0806.2184 and arXiv:0901.1023v1 (published in Phys. Lett., respectively, B668 (2008) 453 and B676 (2009) 173). They consider that \textit{"In Finsler manifold, there exists a unique linear…
In this paper, I will show how to use $\beta$-deformations to deal with dual flatness of $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics. It is a natural continuation of the research on dually flat Randers metrics(see arxiv:1209.1150). $\beta$-deformations is a…
In the present paper, we consider two different {\em Finsler} structures $L$ and $L^*$ on the same base manifold $M$, with no relation preassumed between them. \par Introducing the $\pi$-tensor field representing the difference between the…
In this paper we construct a new class of harmonic and asymptotically harmonic Finsler manifolds of $({\alpha},\beta)$-type. This class is defined by a Riemannian metric ${\alpha}$ and a special 1-form $\beta$.
We study the relation between an R-Cartan structure {\alpha} and an (I, J, K)- generalized Finsler structure on a 3-manifold showing the difficulty in finding a general transformation that maps these structures each other. In some…
The present paper is a continuation of a foregoing paper [Tensor, N. S., 69 (2008), 155-178]. The main aim is to establish \emph{an intrinsic investigation} of the conformal change of the most important special Finsler spaces, namely,…
In this paper, we identify the Bott connection on the natural foliation of the projective sphere bundle of a Finsler manifold to the Chern connection of this manifold. As a consequence, the symmetrization of the Bott connection turns out to…
Munteanu defined the canonical connection associated to a strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler manifold $(M,F)$. We first prove that the holomorphic sectional curvature tensors of the canonical connection coincide with those of the…
A systematic study of (smooth, strong) cone structures $\C$ and Lorentz-Finsler metrics $L$ is carried out. As a link between both notions, cone triples $(\Omega,T, F)$, where $\Omega$ (resp. $T$) is a 1-form (resp. vector field) with…
This study presents many special anisotropic conformal changes of a conic pseudo-Finsler surface $(M,F)$, such as $C$-anisotropic and horizontal $C$-anisotropic conformal transformations, which reduce to $C$-conformal when the conformal…
The present paper deals with the Killing correspondence between some Finsler spaces. We consider a Finsler space equipped with a $\beta$-change of metric and study the Killing correspondence between the original Finsler space and the…
This paper is a continuation of our investigation of the anisotropic conformal change of a conic pseudo-Finsler surface $(M,F)$, namely, the change $\overline{F}(x,y)=e^{\phi(x,y)}F(x,y)$ \cite{first paper}. We obtain the relationship…
The book "Handbook of Finsler geometry" has been included with a CD containing an elegant Maple package, FINSLER, for calculations in Finsler geometry. Using this package, an example concerning a Finsler generalization of Einstein's vacuum…
In this paper, for Finsler surfaces, we prove that the T-condition and $\sigma T$-condition coincide. For higher dimensions $n\geq 3$, we illustrate by an example that the T-condition and $\sigma T$-condition are not equivalent. We show…
Invariant geodesic orbit Finsler $(\alpha,\beta)$ metrics $F$ which arise from Riemannian geodesic orbit metrics $\alpha$ on spheres are determined. The relation of Riemannian geodesic graphs with Finslerian geodesic graphs proved in a…
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…
In this work, the dual flatness, which is connected with Statistics and Information geometry, of general $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics (a new class of Finsler metrics) is studied. A nice characterization for such metrics to be dually flat under…
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 article, we review the current status of Finsler-Lagrange geometry and generalizations. The goal is to aid non-experts on Finsler spaces, but physicists and geometers skilled in general relativity and particle theories, to…
