The intrinsic Gauss, Codazzi and Ricci equations for the Berwald connection in a Finsler hypersurface (Q1107841)

The relations between the Berwald connection coefficients \(G^ i_{jk}\) formed by L(x,y) of a Finsler space \(F_ n\) and \(G^{\alpha}_{\beta \gamma}\) formed by \(L(x^ i(u^{\alpha}),B^ i_{\alpha}(u)\dot u^{\alpha})\) are given. Two kinds of covariant derivatives of mixed tensors \(Y^ i_{\alpha}\) \[ Y^ i_{\alpha;\beta}=\delta_{\beta}Y^ i_{\alpha}+Y^ j_{\alpha}G^ i_{jk}B^ k_{\beta}-Y^ i_{\gamma}G^{\gamma}_{\alpha \beta}\quad Y^ i_{\alpha,\beta}={\dot \partial}_{\beta}Y^ i_{\alpha} \] are defined. The formulas which give the relations between the second order derivatives of the type \(Y^ i_{\alpha;\beta;\gamma},\) \(Y^ i_{\alpha,\beta;\gamma},\) \(Y^ i_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma}\) and the curvature tensors \(H^ i_{hjk}\) and \(G^ i_{hjk}\) are listed. Futhermore, the formulas which express the projections of these curvature tensors in the direction of tangent vectors \(B^ i_{\alpha}\) and the normal vector \(B^ i\) of a hypersurface are given.
