An exact differential two-form is constructed in the injective hull of the Riemannian circle, whose comass norm, defined via the inscribed Riemannian area on normed planes, is stationary at every point of the open hemisphere spanned by the…
We consider any Finsler metric on a closed, orientable surface of genus greater than one. H. M. Morse proved that we can associate an asymptotic direction to minimal rays in the universal cover (in the Poincar\'e disc: a point on the unit…
Minkowski's second theorem can be stated as an inequality for $n$-dimensional flat Finsler tori relating the volume and the minimal product of the lengths of closed geodesics which form a homology basis. In this paper we show how this…
We apply topological methods and a Lusternik-Schnirelmann-type approach to prove existence results for closed geodesics of Finsler metrics on spheres and projective spaces. The main tool in the proofs are spherical complexities, which have…
We establish sharp universal upper bounds on the length of the shortest closed geodesic on a punctured sphere with three or four ends endowed with a complete Riemannian metric of finite area. These sharp curvature-free upper bounds are…
The paper proposes extensions of the usual notions of Finslerian volume to time orientable Finsler spacetime manifolds. The basic idea is to replace, in the classical Busemann-Hausdorff and Holmes-Thompson definitions, integration on the…
On a surface with a Finsler metric, we investigate the asymptotic growth of the number of closed geodesics of length less than $L$ which minimize length among all geodesic multicurves in the same homology class. An important class of…
A method to generalize results from Riemannian Geometry to Finsler geometry is presented. We use the method to generalize several results that involve only metric conditions. Between them we show that the topology induced by the Finsler…
In this paper, the isoperimetric problem in the 2-dimensional Finsler space form $(F_B,B^2(1))$ with k = 0 by using the Busemann-Hausdorff area is investigated. We prove that the circle centered the origin achieves the local maximum area of…
We show that a non-compact (forward) complete Finsler manifold whose Holmes- Thompson volume is infinite admits no non-trivial convex functions. We apply this result to some Finsler manifolds whose Busemann function is convex.
We prove a version of Myers-Steenrod's theorem for Finsler manifolds under minimal regularity hypothesis. In particular we show that an isometry between $C^{k,\alpha}$-smooth (or partially smooth) Finsler metrics, with $k+\alpha>0$, $k\in…
We provide a functional characterization of isometries between non-reversible Finsler manifolds, in the form of a generalization of the Myers-Nakai Theorem for Riemannian manifolds. We show that, since non-reversible Finsler manifolds are a…
In this paper, we establish the existence of an equidistributed sequence of nondegenerate closed geodesics for generic Finsler, symmetric Finsler and Riemannian metrics on every closed surface. The proof relies on the volume property of…
We solve the classical problem of Plateau in the setting of proper metric spaces. Precisely, we prove that among all disc-type surfaces with prescribed Jordan boundary in a proper metric space there exists an area minimizing disc which…
In this paper, we establish a min-max theory for constructing minimal disks with free boundary in any closed Riemannian manifold. The main result is an effective version of the partial Morse theory for minimal disks with free boundary…
We prove three facts about intrinsic geometry of surfaces in a normed (Minkowski) space. When put together, these facts demonstrate a rather intriguing picture. We show that (1) geodesics on saddle surfaces (in a space of any dimension)…
A set of locally finite perimeter $E \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ is called an anisotropic minimal surface in an open set $A$ if $\Phi(E;A) \le \Phi(F;A)$ for some surface energy $\Phi(E;A) = \int_{\partial^{*}E \cap A} \| \nu_{E}\| d…
We study the properties of sets $\Sigma$ having the minimal length (one-dimensional Hausdorff measure) over the class of closed connected sets $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ satisfying the inequality $\mbox{max}_{y \in M}…
In this paper, we proved that for every Finsler metric on $S^n$ $(n\ge 4)$ with reversibility $\lambda$ and flag curvature $K$ satisfying $(\frac{2n-3}{n-1})^2 (\frac{\lambda}{\lambda+1})^2<K\le 1$ and $ \lambda<\frac{n-1}{n-2} $, there…
We prove that, for a Finsler space, if the weighted Ricci curvature is bounded below by a positive number and the diam attains its maximal value, then it is isometric to a standard Finsler sphere. As an application, we show that the first…
