Geodesic curves on \(\mathbb R\)-complex Finsler spaces (Q310849)

The authors investigate the geodesic curves on a strongly convex \(\mathbb{R}\)-complex Finsler space \((M,F)\), especially the first variation formula for this type of curves. The paper consists of four parts. In the first section, some well-known results from Finsler geometry are presented. In Section two a new notion is introduced, namely the strongly convex \(\mathbb{R}\)-complex Finsler space and using this new notion, two structures on the vertical bundle are defined. In Section three, two important theorems are established. In the second one of them, some necessary and sufficient conditions are found under which a curve on \((M,F)\) is globally a minimizing geodesic. Finally, in the last section of the paper, the authors characterize the critical points associated to a holomorphic isometry on \((M,F)\). In conclusion, the paper is interesting and contains new results in Finsler geometry.
