If D is a bounded convex domain in C , then the work of Lempert [L] and Royden-Wong [RW] (see also [A]) show that given any point p ∈ D and any non-zero tangent vector v ∈ C at p, there exists a holomorphic map φ:U → D from the unit disk U ⊂ C into D passing through p and tangent to v in p which is an isometry with respect to the hyperbolic distance of U and the Kobayashi distance of D.

We study Finsler black holes induced from Einstein gravity as possible effects of quantum spacetime noncommutativity. Such Finsler models are defined by nonholonomic frames not on tangent bundles but on (pseudo) Riemannian manifolds being compatible with standard theories of physics. We focus on noncommutative deformations of Schwarzschild metrics into locally anisotropic stationary ones with s...

The paper establishes that a generalization of Monge–Kantorovich equation gives rise to necessary and sufficient optimality condition for the Kantorovich dual problem minimal flow associated with very degenerate Finsler metric without any assumption on coerciveness.

We formulate an approach to the geometry of Riemann–Cartan spaces provided with nonholonomic distributions defined by generic off–diagonal and nonsymmetric metrics inducing effective nonlinear and affine connections. Such geometries can be modelled by moving nonholonomic frames on (pseudo) Riemannian manifolds and describe various types of nonholonomic Einstein, Eisenhart–Moffat and Finsler–Lag...

We search for Riemannian metrics whose Levi-Civita connection belongs to a given projective class. Following Sinjukov and Mikeš, we show that such metrics correspond precisely to suitably positive solutions of a certain projectively invariant finite-type linear system of partial differential equations. Prolonging this system, we may reformulate these equations as defining covariant constant sec...
