A Schur type lemma for the mean Berwald curvature in Finsler geometry

In this short paper, we study a symmetric covariant tensor in Finsler geometry, which is called the mean Berwald curvature. We first investigate the geometry of the fibres as the submanifolds of the tangent sphere bundle on a Finsler manifold. Then we prove that if the mean Berwald curvature is isotropic along fibres, then the Berwald scalar curvature is constant along fibres.     

Minkowski空间的等价性定理及在Finsler几何的应用

首先利用中心仿射几何中的结果建立了Minkowski空间的等价性定理.作为在Finsler几何中的应用,我们证明满足一定条件的Landsberg空间为Berwald空间,这些条件可以是具有闭的Cartan型形式,S曲率为零或平均Berwald曲率为零.     

The main invariants of a complex finsler space

In this paper we extend the results obtained in [3], where are investigated the general settings of the two-dimensional complex Finsler manifolds, with respect to a local complex Berwald frame. The geometry of such manifolds is controlled by three real invariants which live on T'M: two horizontal curvature invariants K and W and one vertical curvature invariant I. By means of these invariants are defined both the horizontal and the vertical holomorphic sectional curvatures. The complex Landsberg and Berwald spaces are of particular interest. Complex Berwald spaces coincide with Kähler spaces, in the two – dimensional case. We establish the necessary and sufficient condition under which K is a constant and we obtain a characterization for the Kähler purely Hermitian spaces by the fact K = W = constant and I = 0. For the class of complex Berwald spaces we have K = W = 0. Finally, a classification of two-dimensional complex Finsler spaces for which the horizontal curvature satisfies a special property is obtained.     

The rigidity theorem for harmonic maps from Berwald manifolds

In this paper, we can prove that any non‐degenerate strongly harmonic map ? from a compact Berwald manifold with nonnegative general Ricci curvature to a Landsberg manifold with non‐positive flag curvature must be totally geodesic, which generalizes the result of Eells and Sampson ([2]).

S-curvature of Doubly Warped Product of Finsler Manifolds

Doubly warped product of Finsler manifolds is useful in theoretical physics, particularly in general relativity. In this paper, we study doubly warped product of Finsler manifolds with isotropic mean Berwald curvature or weak isotropic S-curvature.     

一类具有标量旗曲率的Berwald(α,β)-度量(英文)

本文研究了一类具有F=α+εβ+kα²/β形式的Finsler度量,其中α=（aijyⁱy^j）^1/2是Riemann度量,β=b_iyⁱ是非零1-形式,ε和k≠0是常数。得到了这个Finsler度量的S曲率消失和成为弱Berwald度量的充要条件。另外通过证明发现具有标量期曲率的Finsler度量成为弱Berwald度量的充要条件是它们成为Berwald度量,并且期曲率消失。在这种情况下,该Finsler度量就是局部Minkowski度量。     

THE MAIN INVARIANTS OF A COMPLEX FINSLER SPACE

In this paper we extend the results obtained in [3], where are investigated the general settings of the two-dimensional complex Finsler manifolds, with respect to a local complex Berwald frame. The geometry of such manifolds is controlled by three real invariants which live on T ′M : two horizontal curvature invariants K and W and one vertical curvature invariant I. By means of these invariants are defined both the horizontal and the vertical holomorphic sectional curvatures. The complex Landsberg and Berwald spaces are of particular interest. Complex Berwald spaces coincide with K¨ahler spaces, in the two-dimensional case. We establish the necessary and sufficient condition under which K is a constant and we obtain a characterization for the K¨ahler purely Hermitian spaces by the fact K = W = constant and I = 0. For the class of complex Berwald spaces we have K = W = 0.Finally, a classification of two-dimensional complex Finsler spaces for which the horizontal curvature satisfies a special property is obtained.     

A global rigidity theorem for weakly Landsberg manifolds

In this paper we study a global rigidity property for weakly Landsberg manifolds and prove that a closed weakly Landsberg manifold with the negative flag curvature must be Riemannian.     

On the class of generalized Landsberg manifolds

In 2000, Bejancu–Farran introduced the class of generalized Landsberg manifolds which contains the class of Landsberg manifolds. In this paper, we prove three global results for generalized Landsberg manifolds. First, we show that every compact generalized Landsberg manifold is a Landsberg manifold. Then we prove that every complete generalized Landsberg manifold with relatively isotropic Landsberg curvature reduces to a Landsberg manifold. Finally, we show that every generalized Landsberg manifold with vanishing Douglas curvature satisfies \(\mathbf{H}=0\).     

Some curvature properties of Cartan spaces with mth root metrics

In this paper, we define some non-Riemannian curvature properties for Cartan spaces. We consider a Cartan space with the mth root metric. We prove that every mth root Cartan space of isotropic Landsberg curvature, or isotropic mean Landsberg curvature, or isotropic mean Berwald curvature reduces to a Landsberg, weakly Landsberg, and weakly Berwald spaces, respectively. Then we show that the mth root Cartan space of almost vanishing H-curvature satisfies H?=?0.

S-curvature of isotropic Berwald metrics

Isotropic Berwald metrics are as a generalization of Berwald metrics. Shen proved that every Berwald metric is of vanishing S-curvature. In this paper, we generalize this fact and prove that every isotropic Berwald metric is of isotropic S-curvature. Let F = α + β be a Randers metric of isotropic Berwald curvature. Then it corresponds to a conformal vector field through navigation representation.

On a sharp volume estimate for gradient Ricci solitons with scalar curvature bounded below

In this note, we obtain a sharp volume estimate for complete gradient Ricci solitons with scalar curvature bounded below by a positive constant. Using Chen-Yokota’s argument we obtain a local lower bound estimate of the scalar curvature for the Ricci flow on complete manifolds. Consequently, one has a sharp estimate of the scalar curvature for expanding Ricci solitons; we also provide a direct (elliptic) proof of this sharp estimate. Moreover, if the scalar curvature attains its minimum value at some point, then the manifold is Einstein.
