Low dimensional flat manifolds with some classes of Finsler metric

Authors

Abstract:

Flat Riemannian manifolds are (up to isometry) quotient spaces of the Euclidean space R^n over a Bieberbach group and there are an exact classification of of them in 2 and 3 dimensions. In this paper, two classes of flat Finslerian manifolds are stuided and classified in dimensions 2 and 3.

Notes on some classes of 3-dimensional contact metric manifolds

A review of the geometry of 3-dimensional contact metric manifolds shows that generalized Sasakian manifolds and η-Einstein manifolds are deeply interrelated. For example, it is known that a 3-dimensional Sasakian manifold is η-Einstein. In this paper, we discuss the relationships between several special classes of 3-dimensional contact metric manifolds which are generalizations of 3-dimensiona...

On Stretch curvature of Finsler manifolds

In this paper, Finsler metrics with relatively non-negative (resp. non-positive), isotropic and constant stretch curvature are studied.  In particular, it is showed that every compact Finsler manifold with relatively non-positive (resp. non-negative) stretch curvature is a Landsberg metric. Also, it is proved that every  (α,β)-metric of non-zero constant flag curvature and non-zero relatively i...

Some Remarks on Finsler Manifolds with Constant Flag Curvature

This article is an exposition of four loosely related remarks on the geometry of Finsler manifolds with constant positive flag curvature. The first remark is that there is a canonical Kähler structure on the space of geodesics of such a manifold. The second remark is that there is a natural way to construct a (not necessarily complete) Finsler n-manifold of constant positive flag curvature out ...

Some Rigidity Theorems for Finsler Manifolds of Sectional Flag Curvature

In this paper we study some rigidity properties for Finsler manifolds of sectional flag curvature. We prove that any Landsberg manifold of non-zero sectional flag curvature and any closed Finsler manifold of negative sectional flag curvature must be Riemannian.

Homotheties of Finsler Manifolds *

We give a new and complete proof of the following theorem, discovered by Detlef Laugwitz: (forward) complete and connected finite dimensional Finsler manifolds admitting a proper homothety are Minkowski vector spaces. More precisely, we show that under these hypotheses the Finsler manifold is isometric to the tangent Minkowski vector space of the fixed point of the homothety via the exponential...
