Gauge Bianchi identities in higher order Lagrange spaces.
We study one of the open problems in Finsler geometry presented by Matsumoto-Shimada in 1977, about the existence of a concrete P-reducible metric, i.e. one which is not C-reducible. In order to do this, we study a class of Finsler metrics, called generalized P-reducible metrics, which contains the class of P-reducible metrics. We prove that every generalized P-reducible (α,β)-metric with vanishing S-curvature reduces to a Berwald metric or a C-reducible metric. It follows that there is no concrete...
The concept of geodesic graph is generalized from Riemannian geometry to Finsler geometry, in particular to homogeneous Randers g.o. manifolds. On modified H-type groups which admit a Riemannian g.o. metric, invariant Randers g.o. metrics are determined and geodesic graphs in these Finsler g.o. manifolds are constructed. New structures of geodesic graphs are observed.
