This generalizes the concept of a concircular vector field in Riemannian geometry and the concept of a concurrent vector field in Finsler geometry. Some properties of concircular $\\pi$-vector fields are obtained. Different types of recurrence are discussed. The effect of the existence of a concircular $\\pi$-vector field on some important special Finsler spaces is investigated. The whole work is formulated in a coordinate-free form.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-01-14T15:56:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C60", "53B40", "58B20" ], "keywords": [ "important special finsler spaces", "finsler geometry", "concurrent vector field", "concircular vector field", "riemannian geometry" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1127493, "adsabs": "2012arXiv1208.2838Y" } } }
