Conformal ℱ-harmonic maps for Finsler manifolds

Jintang Li (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

By introducing the ℱ-stress energy tensor of maps from an n-dimensional Finsler manifold to a Finsler manifold and assuming that (n-2)ℱ(t)'- 2tℱ(t)'' ≠ 0 for any t ∈ [0,∞), we prove that any conformal strongly ℱ-harmonic map must be homothetic. This assertion generalizes the results by He and Shen for harmonics map and by Ara for the Riemannian case.

Volume comparison theorem for tubular neighborhoods of submanifolds in Finsler geometry and its applications

Bing-Ye Wu (2014)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We consider the distance to compact submanifolds and study volume comparison for tubular neighborhoods of compact submanifolds. As applications, we obtain a lower bound for the length of a closed geodesic of a compact Finsler manifold. When the Finsler metric is reversible, we also provide a lower bound of the injectivity radius. Our results are Finsler versions of Heintze-Karcher's and Cheeger's results for Riemannian manifolds.

Doubly warped product Finsler manifolds with some non-Riemannian curvature properties

Esmaeil Peyghan, Akbar Tayebi, Behzad Najafi (2012)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We consider doubly warped product (DWP) Finsler manifolds with some non-Riemannian curvature properties. First, we study Berwald and isotropic mean Berwald DWP-Finsler manifolds. Then we prove that every proper Douglas DWP-Finsler manifold is Riemannian. We show that a proper DWP-manifold is Landsbergian if and only if it is Berwaldian. Then we prove that every relatively isotropic Landsberg DWP-manifold is a Landsberg manifold. We show that a relatively isotropic mean Landsberg warped...

Stable harmonic maps between Finsler manifolds and Riemannian manifolds with positive Ricci curvature

Jintang Li (2010)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We study the stability of harmonic maps between Finsler manifolds and Riemannian manifolds with positive Ricci curvature, and we prove that if Mⁿ is a compact Einstein Riemannian minimal submanifold of a Riemannian unit sphere with Ricci curvature satisfying R i c M > n / 2 , then there is no non-degenerate stable harmonic map between M and any compact Finsler manifold.
