The Maximal Diameter Theorem on Finsler Manifolds II

摘要

For a Finsler manifold with the Ricci curvature bounded below by a positive number and nonnegative S-curvature, we obtain Cheng type maximal diameter theorem and show that it must be isometric to a standard Finsler sphere. In particular, when the Finsler manifold is an \((\alpha ,\beta )\) ( α , β ) -manifold, then it attains its maximal diameter if and only if it is isometric to a standard Randers sphere, and further the metric can be determined analytically. The proof is based on the Laplacian comparison theorem, the volume comparison theorem and the so-called reverse technique in Finsler geometry.
