Point Finsler spaces with metrical linear connections (Q2707227)

It is well known that in Finsler spaces \(F^n=(M,\mathcal L)\), with fundamental (metric) function \(\mathcal L\), metrical and linear connections among the tangent vectors do not exist in general. In this paper, the author studies Finsler spaces whose indicatrices \(I(x)=\{y;{\mathcal L}(x,y)=1\}\) are affine images of a single indicatrix \(I(x_0)\), and he shows that they are characterized as those Finsler spaces which admit a linear metrical connection in the tangent bundle. Some results about the automorphisms of the indicatrices are also obtained.
