Local differential geometry of Finsler spaces and generalizations (areal metrics) (53B40)

Abstract: This paper considers fundamental issues related to Finslerian isometries, submetries, distance and geodesics. It is shown that at each point of a Finsler manifold there is a distance coordinate system. Using distance coordinates, a simple proof is given for the Finslerian version of the Myers-Steenrod theorem and for the differentiability of Finslerian submetries.
