On the existence of homogeneous geodesics in homogeneous Kropina spaces (Q2304386)

The existence of a homogeneous geodesic in any homogeneous Riemannian manifold and more generally in any homogeneous Finsler manifold was given in previous papers by other authors. In the present paper, homogeneous geodesics in homogeneous \((\alpha,\beta)\) Finsler metrics are studied, in particular in singular Kropina metrics. It is shown that these spaces also admit a homogeneous geodesic. Kropina metrics of Douglas type are studied in more detail. Conditions for geodesic vectors are derived, a 3-dimensional example of such a metric is given and homogeneous geodesics are found.
