Let $m=2l$ be a positive natural number, $l=1, 2, \ldots. $ A Finslerian metric $F$ is called an $m$-th root metric if its $m$-th power $F^m$ is of class $C^{m}$ on the tangent manifold $TM$. Using some homogenity properties, the local…

In the Riemannian setting, every flat Cartan--Hadamard manifold is isometric to Euclidean space, the canonical model that underlies the theory of Sobolev spaces and guarantees the sharpness/rigidity of the Hardy inequality, the uncertainty…

We generalize the higher rank rigidity theorem to a class of Finsler spaces, i.e. Berwald spaces. More precisely, we prove that a complete connected Berwald space of finite volume and bounded nonpositive flag curvature with rank at least…

In this paper we study the flag curvature of a particular class of Finsler metrics called general $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics, which are defined by a Riemannian metric $\alpha$ and a $1$-form $\beta$. The classification of such metrics with…

A linear connection on a Finsler manifold is called compatible to the metric if its parallel transports preserve the Finslerian length of tangent vectors. Generalized Berwald manifolds are Finsler manifolds equipped with a compatible linear…

In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a $U(n)$-invariant complex Finsler metric $F$ on domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$ to be strongly convex, which also makes it possible to investigate relationship between real and…

The work focuses upon the relativistic and geometric properties of the space--time endowed tentatively with the metric function of the Berwald--Moor type. The zero curvature of indicatrix is a remarkable property of the approach. We…

An $(\alpha,\beta)$-manifold $(M,F)$ is a Finsler manifold with the Finsler metric $F$ being defined by a Riemannian metric $\alpha$ and $1$-form $\beta$ on the manifold $M$. In this paper, we classify $n$-dimensional…

In this paper we study a class of Finsler metrics defined by a Riemannian metric and an 1-form. We classify those of projectively flat in dimension $n\geq3$ by a special class of deformations. The results show that the projective flatness…

In this paper by using left invariant Riemannian metrics on some 3-dimensional Lie groups we construct some complete non-Riemannian Berwald spaces of non-positive flag curvature and several families of geodesically complete locally…

In this note it is shown that Berwald spaces admitting the same norm-preserving torsion-free affine connection have the same (weighted) Ricci curvatures. Combing this with Szab\'o's Berwald metrization theorem one can apply the…

This is the author's Ph.D. thesis, submitted to the University of Leipzig. It deals with the $L^2$ Riemannian metric on the manifold of all smooth Riemannian metrics on a fixed closed, finite-dimensional manifold. The main body of the…

Given a flat metric one may generate a local Hamiltonian structure via the fundamental result of Dubrovin and Novikov. More generally, a flat pencil of metrics will generate a local bi-Hamiltonian structure, and with additional…

In this paper, we study locally projectively flat Finsler metrics with constant flag curvature ${\bf K}$. We prove those are totally determined by their behaviors at the origin by solving some nonlinear PDEs. The classifications when ${\bf…

For Finsler spaces (M,F) endowed with m-th root metrics, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions in which they are projectively flat, or projectively related to Berwald/Riemann spaces. We also give a specific characterization for…

By using a certain second order differential equation, the notion of adapted coordinates on Finsler manifolds is defined and some classifications of complete Finsler manifolds are found. Some examples of Finsler metrics, with positive…

We study conformal Fefferman-Lorentz manifolds introduced by Fefferman. To do so, we introduce Fefferman-Lorentz structure on (2n+2)-dimensional manifolds. By using causal conformal vector fields preserving that structure, we shall…

In this paper, firstly we study some left invariant Riemannian metrics on para-hypercomplex 4-dimensional Lie groups. In each Lie group, the Levi-Civita connection and sectional curvature have been given explicitly. We also show these…

The norm of Cartan torsion plays an important role for studying of immersion theory in Finsler geometry. Indeed, Finsler manifold with unbounded Cartan torsion can not be isometrically imbedded into any Minkowski space. In this paper, we…

We adopt a vierbein formalism to study pseudo-Finsler spaces modeled on a pseudo-Minkowski space. We show that it is possible to obtain closed expressions for most of the geometric objects of the theory, including Berwald's curvature,…
