A sphere theorem for non-reversible Finsler metrics

Mathematische Annalen, 2004
For manifolds \(M\) endowed with non-reversible Finsler metric \(F\) the notion of {reversibility} \(\lambda=\max\{F(-X)\mid F(X)=1\}\geq1\) is introduced. The following generalization of the classical sphere theorem of Riemannian geometry is proved: ``If a simply connected and compact Finsler manifold of dimension \(n\geq3\) with reversibility ...

On minimal surfaces in a class of Finsler 3-spheres

Geometriae Dedicata, 2013
The present paper is devoted to minimal surfaces in a Bao-Shen sphere which is \(S^3\) with a Randers metric associated to a Killing vector field tangent to the Hopf fibers. More precisely, for \(c\in \mathbb{R}\) it is proved that the helicoids \(f_c:\mathbb{R}^2\rightarrow S^3\) given by \(f_c(s, t)=(\cos s\, e^{ict}, \sin s\, e^{it})\) are minimal ...

Closed geodesics on Finsler spheres

Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations, 2011
Since Katok found examples of Finsler structures on \(S^2\) with only \(2\) distinct closed geodesics in 1973, the classical problem of counting geometrically distinct closed geodesics on Riemannian manifolds gained a new frontier; namely, that of considering the same problem on Finsler manifolds. Several interesting results regarding this problem were

Blaschke Finsler metrics on spheres

International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics, 2019
In this paper, it is shown that the reversible Blaschke Finsler metrics on spheres with vanishing [Formula: see text]-curvature are Riemannian.
