Summary:
|
Applying concepts and tools from classical tangent bundle geometry and using the apparatus of the calculus along the tangent bundle projection (‘pull-back formalism’), first we enrich the known lists of the characterizations of affine vector fields on a spray manifold and conformal vector fields on a Finsler manifold. Second, we deduce consequences on vector fields on the underlying manifold of a Finsler structure having one or two of the mentioned geometric properties. (English) |
