Beil metrics associated to a Finsler space.
Let ϕ :(M,F)→ (N,h) be a harmonic map from a Finsler manifold to any Riemannian manifold. We establish Bochner's formula for the energy density of ϕ and maximum principle on Finsler manifolds, from which we deduce some properties of harmonic maps ϕ.
The purpose of this paper is to define transversal Cartan connection of Finsler foliation and to prove its existence and uniqueness.
We study the geometry of the second fundamental form of a Cauchy-Riemann submanifold of a Kaehlerian Finsler space M2n; any totally-real submanifold of M2n with v-flat normal connection is shown to be a Berwald-Cartan space.
After defining what is meant by a complex spray X on a complex manifold M, we introduce the notion of a spray complex curve associated to X. Several equivalent formulations are derived and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for M to admit spray complex curves for X through each point and in each direction. Refinements of this result are then derived for some special cases, for example when X is the horizontal radial vector field associated to a complex Finsler metric.
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.
Applying concepts and tools from classical tangent bundle geometry and using the apparatus of the calculus along the tangent bundle projection (‘pull-back formalism’), first we enrich the known lists of the characterizations of affine vector fields on a spray manifold and conformal vector fields on a Finsler manifold. Second, we deduce consequences on vector fields on the underlying manifold of a Finsler structure having one or two of the mentioned geometric properties.
We give a new and detailed description of the structure of cut loci, with direct applications to the singular sets of some Hamilton-Jacobi equations. These sets may be non-triangulable, but a local description at all points except for a set of Hausdorff dimension is well known. We go further in this direction by giving a classification of all points up to a set of Hausdorff dimension .
