On the fundamental equations of homogeneous Finsler spaces (Q2348088): Difference between revisions

The notion of a single colored Finsler manifold is introduced and investigated. A Finsler metric \(F\) on a manifold \(M\) is called single colored if for every \(x\in M\), there exists a neighborhood \(U\) of \(x\) and a local frame field \(\{e_i\}\) defined on \(U\) such that \(F(y^ie_i)=F(y^1,\cdots, y^m)\) is a function of \(y^i\)'s (\(m =\dim M\)). In other words, a Finsler metric is single colored if and only if the tangent spaces are linearly isometric to each other as Minkowskian spaces. Homogeneous Finsler spaces are single colored. The main aim of the present paper is the computation of various types of curvature for homogeneous Finsler spaces, such as Riemann curvature, Landsberg curvature, Ricci curvature, flag curvature, \(S\)-curvature, etc. Some basic applications of the obtained curvature formulae are concluded.
