ABSTRACT
We prove that for every Q-homological Finsler 3-sphere ( M, F) with a bumpy and irreversible metric F, either there exist two non-hyperbolic prime closed geodesics, or there exist at least three prime closed geodesics.

In this paper, we prove that for every Finsler n-sphere ( S, F) all of whose prime closed geodesics are non-degenerate with reversibility Î» and flag curvature K satisfying $${\left(\frac{\lambda}{\lambda+1}\right)^2 < K \le 1,}$$ there exist $${2[\frac{n+1}{2}]-1}$$ prime closed geodesics;...

Using a standard fact in hyperbolic geometry, we give a simple proof of the uniqueness of PL minimal surfaces, thus filling in a gap in the original proof of Jaco and Rubinstein. Moreover, in order to clarify some ambiguity, we sharpen the definition of PL minimal surfaces, and prove a technical...

We show that if all geodesics of two non-proportional metrics on a closed manifold coincide (as unparameterized curves), then the manifold has a finite fundamental group or admits a local-product structure. This implies that, if the manifold admits a metric of negative sectional curvature, then...

Let (M, g) be a compact Riemannian manifold of hyperbolic type, i.e M is a manifold admitting another metric of strictly negative curvature. In this paper we study the geodesic flow restricted to the set of geodesics which are minimal on the universal covering. In particular for surfaces we show...

Abstract. Following the insights from previous work on Holland's frame for Randers spaces and its application to electrodynamics, a canonical anholonomic Finsler frame is defined for Kropina spaces. These spaces arise in Ingarden's thermodynamics and Shibata's Finsler Theory of dissipative...

Anisotropic cosmological models with a generalized Chaplygin gas in a Finsler space-time geometry are considered and a class of exact solutions as well as cosmological parameters behaviors are studied. Moreover, the viability and stability criteria for a general solution are also discussed.

The aim of this paper is to develop on the 1-jet space JÂ¹(R,M4) the Finslerlike geometry (in the sense of distinguished (d-) connection, d-torsions, d-curvatures and some gravitational-like and electromagnetic-like geometrical models) for the xconformal deformed rheonomic Berwald-MoÃ³r...

In this paper, we study the properties of special (Î±, Î²)-metric Î±e Î²/Î± + Î², the Randers change of exponential metric. We find a necessary and sufficient condition for this metric to be locally projectively flat and we prove the conditions for this metric to be of Berwald and...

In this note the geometry of the indicatrix (I; LËœ) is studied as a hypersurface of a complex Finsler space (M;L). The induced Chern-Finsler and Berwald connections are defined and studied. The induced Berwald connection coincides with the intrinsic Berwald connection of the indicatrix...
