In this paper, we study the spectral problem on a compact Finsler manifold with or without boundary. More precisely, given a certain collection of sets in Sobolev space $H^{1,2}(M)$ and a dimension-like function, we can define a corresponding spectrum. Such a spectrum satisfies nice properties. In particular, the eigenfunction corresponding to each eigenvalue always exists. And a Cheng type upper bound estimate for eigenvalues is obtained. Moreover, some interesting examples are constructed and investigated in this paper.

In this paper we investigate the spectral problem in Finsler geometry. Due to the nonlinearity of the Finsler-Laplacian operator, we introduce textit{faithful dimension pairs} by means of which the spectrum of a compact reversible Finsler metric measure manifold is defined. Various upper and lower bounds of such eigenvalues are provided in the spirit of Cheng, Buser and Gromov, which extend in several aspects the results of Hassannezhad, Kokarev and Polterovich. Moreover, we construct several faithful dimension pairs based on Lusternik-Schnirelmann category, Krasnoselskii genus and essential dimension, respectively; however, we also show that the Lebesgue covering dimension pair is not faithful. As an application, we show that the Bakry-Emery spectrum of a closed weighted Riemannian manifold can be characterized by the faithful Lusternik-Schnirelmann dimension pair.
In this paper, we study the spectrums of faithful dimension pairs on a closed Finsler manifold and obtain a Gromov type and a Buser type lower bounds for eigenvalues. Furthermore, for the Lusternik-Schnirelmann spectrum, we not only obtain a better lower bound, but also estimate the multiplicity of each eigenvalue.
In this paper, we use a Killing form on a Riemannian manifold to construct a class of Finsler metrics. We find equations that characterize Einstein metrics among this class. In particular, we construct a family of Einstein metrics on $S^3$ with ${rm Ric} = 2 F^2$, ${rm Ric}=0$ and ${rm Ric}=- 2 F^2$, respectively. This family of metrics provide an important class of Finsler metrics in dimension three, whose Ricci curvature is a constant, but the flag curvature is not.
The aim of the present paper is to provide a global presentation of the theory of special Finsler manifolds. We introduce and investigate globally (or intrinsically, free from local coordinates) many of the most important and most commonly used speci al Finsler manifolds: locally Minkowskian, Berwald, Landesberg, general Landesberg, $P$-reducible, $C$-reducible, semi-$C$-reducible, quasi-$C$-reducible, $P^{*}$-Finsler, $C^{h}$-recurrent, $C^{v}$-recurrent, $C^{0}$-recurrent, $S^{v}$-recurrent, $S^{v}$-recurrent of the second order, $C_{2}$-like, $S_{3}$-like, $S_{4}$-like, $P_{2}$-like, $R_{3}$-like, $P$-symmetric, $h$-isotropic, of scalar curvature, of constant curvature, of $p$-scalar curvature, of $s$-$ps$-curvature. The global definitions of these special Finsler manifolds are introduced. Various relationships between the different types of the considered special Finsler manifolds are found. Many local results, known in the literature, are proved globally and several new results are obtained. As a by-product, interesting identities and properties concerning the torsion tensor fields and the curvature tensor fields are deduced. Although our investigation is entirely global, we provide; for comparison reasons, an appendix presenting a local counterpart of our global approach and the local definitions of the special Finsler spaces considered.
In this paper, we prove that lightlike geodesics of a pseudo-Finsler manifold and its focal points are preserved up to reparametrization by anisotropic conformal changes, using the Chern connection and the anisotropic calculus and the fact that geodesics are critical points of the energy functional and Jacobi fields, the kernel of its index form. This result has applications to the study of Finsler spacetimes.
