We classify homogeneous reversible Finsler metrics with positive Flag curvature. We show that if G/H admits a G invariant reversible Finsler metric with positive Flag curvature, then up to a few low dimensional spaces, it also admits a G…

If the flag curvature of a Finsler manifold reduces to sectional curvature, then locally either the Finsler metric is Riemannian, or the flag curvature is isotropic.

We show the existence of at least two geometrically distinct closed geodesics on an n-dimensional sphere with a bumpy and non-reversible Finsler metric for n>2.

We show that if a Finsler metric on $S^2$ with reversibility $r$ has flag curvatures $K$ satisfying $(\frac{r}{r+1})^2 <K \leq 1$, then closed geodesics with specific contact-topological properties cannot exist, in particular there are no…

What is the minimal size quantum circuit required to exactly implement a specified n-qubit unitary operation, U, without the use of ancilla qubits? We show that a lower bound on the minimal size is provided by the length of the minimal…

We show that a small perturbation of the boundary distance function of a simple Finsler metric on the $n$-disc is also the boundary distance function of some Finsler metric. (Simple metric form an open class containing all flat metrics.)…

Geodesic loops on polyhedra were studied only for Euclidean space and it was known that there are no simple geodesic loops on regular tetrahedra. Here we prove that: 1) On the spherical space, there are no simple geodesic loops on…

In this paper, we prove that for every Finsler $4$-dimensional sphere $(S^4,F)$ with reversibility $\lambda$ and flag curvature $K$ satisfying $\frac{25}{9}\left(\frac{\lambda}{1+\lambda}\right)^2<K\le 1$ with $\lambda<\frac{3}{2}$, either…

For compact manifolds with infinite fundamental group we present sufficient topological or metric conditions ensuring the existence of two geometrically distinct closed geodesics. We also show how results about generic Riemannian metrics…

We give a sharp lower bound for the number of geometrically distinct contractible periodic orbits of dynamically convex Reeb flows on prequantizations of symplectic manifolds that are not aspherical. Several consequences of this result are…

In this paper, we prove there are at least two closed geodesics on any compact bumpy Finsler $n$-manifold with finite fundamental group and $n\ge 2$. Thus generically there are at least two closed geodesics on compact Finsler manifolds with…

In this paper, we prove that for every irreversible Finsler $n$-dimensional real projective space $(\mathbb{R}P^n,F)$ with reversibility $\lambda$ and flag curvature $K$ satisfying $\frac{16}{9}\left(\frac{\lambda}{1+\lambda}\right)^2<K\le…

We show that for an open and dense set non-reversible Finsler metrics on a sphere of odd dimension $n=2m-1 \ge 3$ there is a second closed geodesic with Morse index $\le 4(m+2)(m-1)+2.$

In this paper, we first generalize the common index jump theorem for symplectic matrix paths proved in 2002 by Long and Zhu in [LoZ], and get an enhanced version of it. As its applications, we further prove that for a compact…

Let $M$ be a compact hyperbolic $3$-manifold with volume $V$. Let $L$ be a link such that $M\setminus L$ is hyperbolic. For any hyperbolic link $L$ in $M$, in this article, we establish an upper bound of the length of an $n^{th}$ shortest…

In this paper we show that on a complete Riemannian manifold of negative curvature and dimension $n>1$ every two points which realize a local maximum for the distance function are connected by at least $2n+1$ geometrically distinct geodesic…

It is not known whether or not the lenth of the shortest periodic geodesic on a closed Riemannian manifold $M^n$ can be majorized by $c(n) vol^{ 1 \over n}$, or $\tilde{c}(n)d$, where $n$ is the dimension of $M^n$, $vol$ denotes the volume…

In this paper, we prove that on every Finsler manifold $(M,\,F)$ with reversibility $\lambda$ and flag curvature $K$ satisfying $\left(\frac{\lambda}{\lambda+1}\right)^2<K\le 1$, there exist $[\frac{\dim M+1}{2}]$ closed geodesics. If the…

We construct and discuss new numerical homotopy invariants of topological spaces that are suitable for the study of functions on loop and sphere spaces. These invariants resemble the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and provide lower bounds…

In this paper, we consider a homogeneous manifold $G/H$ in which $G$ is a compact connected simply connected simple Lie group and $H$ is a closed connected subgroup of $G$. We define standard and very standard homogeneous Finsler metrics on…
