The study of moduli space and Teichmüller space has a long history. These two spaces lie in the intersections of the researches in many areas of mathematics and physics. Many deep results have been obtained in history by many famous mathematicians. Here we will only mention a few that are closely related to our discussions. Riemann was the first who considered the space M of all complex structu...

‎Based on a definition for circle in Finsler space‎, ‎recently proposed by one of the present authors and Z‎. ‎Shen‎, ‎a natural definition of extrinsic sphere in Finsler geometry is given and it is shown that a connected submanifold of a Finsler manifold is totally umbilical and has non-zero parallel mean curvature vector field‎, ‎if and only if its circles coincide with circles of the ambient...

David Hilbert discovered in 1895 an important metric that is canonically associated to an arbitrary convex domain Ω in the Euclidean (or projective) space. This metric is known to be Finslerian, and the usual proof of this fact assumes a certain degree of smoothness of the boundary of Ω, and refers to a theorem by Busemann and Mayer that produces the norm of a tangent vector from the distance f...

Some physicists suggest that to more adequately describe the causal structure of space-time, it is necessary to go beyond the usual pseudoRiemannian causality, to a more general Finsler causality. In this general case, the set of all the events which can be influenced by a given event is, locally, a generic convex cone, and not necessarily a pseudoReimannian-style quadratic cone. Since all curr...

The paper generalises Thompson and Hilbert metric to the space of spectral densities. The resulting complete metric space has the differentiable structure of a Finsler manifold with explicit geodesics. Additionally, in the rational case, the resulting distance is filtering invariant and can be computed efficiently.

The Hilbert geometry in an open bounded convex set in R is a classical example of a projective Finsler space. We construct explicitly a positive measure on the space of lines in a polytopal Hilbert geometry which yields an integral geometric representation of Crofton type for the Holmes-Thompson area of hypersurfaces.

In this paper, we prove a global rigidity theorem for negatively curved Finsler metrics on a compact manifold of dimension n ≥ 3. We show that for such a Finsler manifold, if the flag curvature is a scalar function on the tangent bundle, then the Finsler metric is of Randers type. We also study the case when the Finsler metric is locally projectively flat.

In this paper, we first establish several theorems about the estimation of distance function on real and strongly convex complex Finsler manifolds then obtain a Schwarz lemma from weakly K\"ahler-Finsler manifold into pseudoconvex manifold. As applications, prove that holomorphic mapping is necessary constant under an extra condition. particular, Minkowski space such its sectional curvature bou...

A generalization of Finsler structures on surfaces is proposed and the differential invariants of such structures are developed. The information obtained is then used to construct examples of Finsler structures and generalized Finsler structures which satisfy various interesting curvature conditions. In particular, examples are constructed of non-Riemannian Finsler structures on the 2-sphere wh...
