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。

Finsler空间上的Weyl曲率

The Weyl curvature of a Finsler metric is investigated. This curvature constructed from Riemannain curvature. It is an important projective invariant of Finsler metrics. The author gives the necessary conditions on Weyl curvature for a Finsler metric to be Randers metric and presents examples of Randers metrics with non-scalar curvature. A global rigidity theorem for compact Finsler manifolds satisfying such conditions is proved. It is showed that for such a Finsler manifold,if Ricci scalar is negative,then Finsler metric is of Randers type.

Hypersurfaces of semi-C-reducible and S4-like Finsler spaces

The notions of semi C-reducible and S4-like Finsler spaces have been introduced by Matsumoto and Shibata ([6]). The object of the present paper is to study some properties of the hypersurfaces immersed in semi-C-reducible and S4-like Finsler spaces. It has been proved that a hypersurface of semi-C-reducible Finsler space is a semi-C-reducible while the condition, under with a hypersurface of S4-like Finsler space will be a S-4like space, has been obtained. The condition under which a hypersurface of semi-C-reducible Landsberg space will be a Landsberg space has also been obtained. After using the so called “T-condition” (Matsumoto [5]) we have discussed the condition under which a hypersurface of a semi-C-reducible Finsler spaceF _n satisfying T-condition will also satisfy T-condition.     

Finsler metrics of scalar flag curvature with special non-Riemannian curvature properties

In this paper, we study Finsler metrics of scalar flag curvature. We find that a non-Riemannian quantity is closely related to the flag curvature. We show that the flag curvature is weakly isotropic if and only if this non-Riemannian quantity takes a special form. This will lead to a better understanding on Finsler metrics of scalar flag curvature.      

On dually flat Finsler metrics

In this paper, we study the locally dually flat Finsler metrics which arise from information geometry. An equivalent condition of locally dually flat Finsler metrics is given. We find a new method to construct locally dually flat Finsler metrics by using a projectively flat Finsler metric under the condition that the projective factor is also a Finsler metric. Finally, we find that many known Finsler metrics are locally dually flat Finsler metrics determined by some projectively flat Finsler metrics.     

Finsler warped product metrics with special Riemannian curvature properties

One of the fundamental problems in Finsler geometry is to study Finsler metrics of constant(or scalar) curvature. In this paper, we refine and improve Chen-Shen-Zhao equations characterizing Finsler warped product metrics of scalar flag curvature. In particular, we find equations that characterize Finsler warped product metrics of constant flag curvature. Then we improve the Chen-Shen-Zhao result on characterizing Einstein Finsler warped product metrics. As its application we construct explicitly many new warped product Douglas metrics of constant Ricci curvature by using known locally projectively flat spherically symmetric metrics of constant flag curvature.     

On generalized symmetric Finsler spaces

In this paper, we study generalized symmetric Finsler spaces. We first study some existence theorems, then we consider their geometric properties and prove that any such space can be written as a coset space of a Lie group with an invariant Finsler metric. Finally we show that each generalized symmetric Finsler space is of finite order and those of even order reduce to symmetric Finsler spaces and hence are Berwaldian.     

Short review of Yasuda-Shimada theorem and related topics

In this paper, we will present the past and the present situation of a very controversial topic in Finsler geometry: the necessary and sufficient conditions for a Randers space to be of constant curvature. The research on this subject started more than a quarter of century ago, but its final act was played only two years ago. Moreover, the history of Yasuda-Shimada theorem and few words on the life of Professor Yasuda are added. Finally miscellaneous topics studied by the Japanese group of Finsler geometers are reviewed.     

On the classification of weakly symmetric Finsler spaces

In this paper, we give the classification of some special types of weakly symmetric Finsler spaces. We first present a general principle to classify weakly symmetric Finsler spaces and also give a method to figure out the Berwald spaces among the class of weakly symmetric Finsler spaces. Then we give an explicit classification of weakly symmetric Finsler spaces with reductive isometric groups as well as the left invariant weakly symmetric Finsler metrics on nilpotent Lie groups of the Heisenberg type. As an application, we obtain a large number of high-dimensional examples of reversible Finsler spaces which are non-Berwaldian and with vanishing S-curvature, a kind of spaces which are sought after in an open problem of Z. Shen.
