On generalized symmetric Finsler spaces. (English) Zbl 1211.53090

Authors’ abstract: We study generalized symmetric Finsler spaces. We first study some existence theorems, then we consider their geometric properties and prove that any such space can be written as a coset space of a Lie group with an invariant Finsler metric. Finally we show that each generalized symmetric Finsler space is of finite order and those of even order reduce to symmetric Finsler spaces and hence are Berwaldian.
