Conformal Transformations of Difference Tensors of Finsler Space With An $(\alpha, \beta)$-Metric

Yong-Duk Lee

Yeungnam Junior College

Abstract

In the Finsler space with an $(\alpha,\beta)$-metric, we can consider the difference tensors of the Finsler connection. The properties of the conformal transformation of these difference tensors are investigated in the present paper. Some conformal invariant tensors are formed in the Finsler space with an $(\alpha,\beta)$-metric related with the difference tensors.

Keywords: difference tensor, Cartan connection, Berwald connection, Landsberg space, conformal transformation, homothetic transformation
