We prove a version of Myers-Steenrod's theorem for Finsler manifolds under the minimal regularity hypothesis. In particular we show that an isometry between C-k,C-alpha-smooth (or partially smooth) Finsler metrics, with k + alpha > 0, k is an element of N ...
The subject of this thesis lies in the intersection of differential geometry and functional analysis, a domain usually called global analysis. A central object in this work is the group Ds(M) of all orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of a compact manif ...
We discuss general notions of metrics and of Finsler structures which we call weak metrics and weak Finsler structures. Any convex domain carries a canonical weak Finsler structure, which we call its tautological weak Finsler structure. We compute distance ...
The mathematical facet of modern crystallography is essentially based on analytical geometry, linear algebra as well as group theory. This study endeavours to approach the geometry and symmetry of crystals using the tools furnished by differential geometry ...
David Hilbert discovered in 1895 an important metric that is canonically associated to any convex domain Ω in the Euclidean (or projective) space. This metric is known to be Finslerian, and the usual proof assumes a certain degree of smoothness of t ...
