A note on 2-dimensional Finsler manifold

Publication date: 30 September 2015

Abstract: We solve the following problem for

n = 2 :

Is any n-dimensional Finsler manifold

(M, F)

with a function

f

which is nonconstant and smooth on

M

satisfying

d f r a c p a r t i a l g^{i j} p a r t i a l y^{k} d f r a c p a r t i a l f p a r t i a l x^{i} = 0,

a Riemannian manifold? The problem for

n > 2

remains open.
