Schur theorem proven for weakly Landsberg Finsler metrics.

In this paper, we study the long existence problem of non Berwaldian Landsberg spaces using the conformal transformation point of view. Under conformal transformation, the Berwald and Landesberg tensors are calculated in terms of the T-tensor. By giving examples, we show that under conformal transformation, there are L…

Develops Palatini formalism for pseudo-Finsler metrics, recovering classical results.

In this paper, we define some non-Riemannian curvature properties for Cartan spaces. We consider Cartan space with the m-th root metric. We prove that every m-th root Cartan space of isotropic Landsberg curvature, or isotropic mean Landsberg curvature, or isotropic mean Berwald curvature reduces to a Landsberg, weakly …

The paper studies Berwald scalar curvature properties in Finsler geometry.

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 are obtained. Due comparisons with the Finsleroid-Finsler space are indicated. Key…

In this paper, we consider doubly warped product (DWP) Finsler manifolds with some non-Riemannian curvature properties. First, we study Berwald and isotropic mean Berwald DWP-Finsler manifolds. Then we prove that every proper Douglas DWP-Finsler manifold is Riemannian. We show that a proper DWP-manifold is Landsbergian…

Given a Finsler space (M,F), one can define natural average Riemannian metrics on M by averaging on the indicatrix I_x the fundamental tensor g of the Finsler function $F$. In this paper we determine explicitly the Levi-Civita connection for these average Riemannian metrics. We apply the result to the case when (M,F) i…

The paper classifies Finsler surfaces satisfying the T-condition or σT-condition.

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 space is of Landsberg type, then the Finsleroid charge is a constant. The Finsler…

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 evaluated. The involutive case means the framework in which the characteristic sc…

The Finsleroid--induced scalar product, and hence the angle, proves to remain unchanged under the Finsleroid--type parallel transportation of involved vectors in the Landsberg case. The two--vector extension of the Finsleroid metric tensor is proposed.

In this paper, we study a new class of Finsler metrics, F=αφ(b^2,s), s:=β/α, defined by a Riemannian metric αand 1-form β. It is called general (α, β) metric. In this paper, we assume φbe coefficient by s and βbe closed and conformal. We find a nessecary and sufficient condition for the metric of relatively isotropic m…

The paper studies anisotropic conformal changes in pseudo-Finsler surfaces.

In this paper, we prove that every m-th root metric with isotropic mean Berwald curvature reduces to a weakly Berwald metric. Then we show that an m-th root metric with isotropic mean Landsberg curvature is a weakly Landsberg metric. We find necessary and sufficient condition under which conformal $β$-change of an m-th…

Finsler gravity vacuum equation reduces to Ricci vanishing under specific conditions.

In this paper, the Cartan tensors of the $(α,β)$-norms are investigated in details. Then an equivalence theorem of $(α,β)$-norms is proved. As a consequence in Finsler geometry, general $(α,β)$-metrics on smooth manifolds of dimension $n\geq4$ with vanishing Landsberg curvatures must be Berwald manifolds.

In this paper, we study the complex Landsberg spaces and some of their important subclasses. We introduce and characterize the class of generalized Berwald and complex Landsberg spaces. The intersection of these spaces gives the so called $G-$ Landsberg class.

Study Finsler metrics with vanishing Landsberg curvature.

The Berwald-Landsberg problem is considered for two dimensional manifolds. We sketch the proof that there are not $\mathcal{C}^5$-regular $y$-global pure Landsberg surfaces. The method used consists on considerer the holonomy representation of the averaged Chern connection and then exhausting all the possible cases, sh…

In this paper, we study almost regular Landsberg general $(α,β)$-metrics in Finsler geometry. The corresponding equivalent equations are given. By solving the equations, we give the classification of Landsberg general $(α,β)$-metrics under the conditon that $β$ is closed and conformal to $α$. Under this condition, we p…

Classifies cosmological Finsler spacetimes, finding viable non-stationary models.

It is still a long-standing open problem in Finsler geometry, is there any regular Landsberg metric which is not Berwaldian. However, there are non-regular Landsberg metrics which are not Berwladian. The known examples are established by G. S. Asanov and Z. Shen. In this paper, we use the Maple program to study some ex…

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 isometries of the tangent Minkowski spaces, we prove that an $(α_1, α_2)$-metric …

In this paper, we study general $(α,β)$-metrics which $α$ is a Riemannian metric and $β$ is an one-form. We have proven that every weak Landsberg general $(α,β)$-metric is a Berwald metric, where $β$ is a closed and conformal one-form. This show that there exist no generalized unicorn metric in this class of general $(…

Study on special Finsler metrics with conditions for Riemannian and isotropic properties.

The nullity distributions of the two curvature tensors \, $\overast{R}$ and $\overast{P}$ of the Chern connection of a Finsler manifold are investigated. The completeness of the nullity foliation associated with the nullity distribution $\N_{R^\ast}$ is proved. Two counterexamples are given: the first shows that $\N_{R…

The paper studies invariant functions and their relation to Landsberg surfaces.

We show that there are not pure $\mathcal{C}^5$ regular y-global Landsberg surfaced. The proof is based on the averaged connection associated with the linear Chern's connection and the classification of irreducibles holonomies of torsion-free affine connections. The structure consists on exausting all the possible case…

Based on a self-contained, coordinate-free exposition of the necessary concepts and tools of spray and Finsler geometry (with detailed proofs), we derive new results among others on the consequences of the direction-independence of the Landsberg tensor and the stretch tensor of a Finsler manifold. We show that an at le…

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 $π$-tensor field representing the difference between the Cartan connections associated with $L$ and $L^*$, we investigate the conditions, t…

Finsleroid-Finsler metrics form an important class of singular (y-local) Finsler metrics. They were introduced by G. S. Asanov [2] in 2006. As the special case of the general construction Asanov produced singular (y - local) examples of Landsberg spaces of dimension at least three that are not of Berwald type. The exis…

A gap in the proof of the finsler "unicorn" conjecture in the paper "Regular Landsberg metrics are always Berwald" by Z. I. Szabo is pointed out

We describe the $(α,β)$-metrics whose the $T$-tensor vanishes ($T$-condition) and the $(α,β)$-metrics that satisfy the $σT$-condition $σ_hT^h_{ijk}=0$, where $σ_h=\frac{\partial σ}{\partial x^h}$ and $σ$ is a smooth function on $M$. These classes have already been obtained by Z. Shen and G. S. Asanov in a completely di…

The paper classifies spherically symmetric Finsler metrics as Berwaldian or Riemannian.

The problem of conformal transformation and conformal flatness of Finsler spaces has been studied by so many researchers $\left[ 6,16,17,20,21\right] .$ Recently, Prasad et. al $\left[ 19\right]$ have studied three dimensional conformally flat Landsberg and Berwald spaces and have given some important results. The pur…

In this paper, we study a class of Finsler metrics which contains the class of Berwald metrics as a special case. We prove that every Finsler metric in this class is a generalized Douglas-Weyl metric. Then we study isotropic flag curvature Finsler metrics in this class. Finally we show that on this class of Finsler met…
