constant curvature Finsler space geodesic mapping Riemannian space

Global differential geometry of Finsler spaces and generalizations (areal metrics) (53C60)

The author previously studied with \textit{F. Ilosvay} and \textit{B. Kis} [Publ. Math. 42, 139-144 (1993; Zbl 0796.53022)] the diffeomorphisms between two Finsler spaces \(F^n= (M^n, L)\) and \(\overline F^n= (M^n,\overline L)\) which map the geodesics of \(F^n\) to geodesics of \(\overline F^n\) (geodesic mappings). Now, he investigates the geodesic mappings between a Finsler space \(F^n\) and a Riemannian space \(\overline{\mathbb{R}}^n\). The main result of this paper is as follows: if \(F^n\) is of constant curvature \(K\) and the mapping \(F^n\to \overline{\mathbb{R}}^n\) is a strongly geodesic mapping then \(K= 0\) or \(K\neq 0\) and \(\overline L= e^{\varphi(x)}L\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0913.00039].
