Zermelo navigation on Riemannian manifolds

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied Zermelo navigation on Riemannian manifolds and used that to solve a long standing problem in Finsler geometry, namely the complete classification of strongly convex Randers metrics of constant flag curvature.

The Geometry of Hamilton and Lagrange Spaces

TL;DR: The duality between Lagrange and Hamilton spaces is discussed in this paper, where the dual bundle of a k-osculator bundle is defined as Cartan spaces of order 2.

Finsler Metrics with K=0 and S=0

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a technique to construct non-projectively flat Finsler metrics with zero curvature in each dimension, which can be used to construct many nonprojective flat FING metrics of constant curvature.

Differential Geometry of Special Mappings

TL;DR: The theory of manifolds with affine connection has been studied in this paper, where the authors deal with the theory of conformal, geodesic, and projective mappings and transformations.

On the Flag Curvature of Finsler Metrics of Scalar Curvature

TL;DR: In this paper, the flag curvature of a Finsler metric is defined as a scalar function on the slit tangent bundle, and the curvature is determined when certain non-Riemannian quantities such as Cartan torsion and Landsberg curvature are isotropic.
