MATHEMATICS
The properly Helmholtz plane as Finsler geometry
V. A. Kyrov Gorno-Altaisk State University, Gorno-Altaisk, Russian Federation
Abstract:
G.G. Mikhailichenko has built the complete classification of two-dimensional phenomenologically
symmetric geometries, i.e. geometries for which the six mutual distances between the
four arbitrary points are functionally connected. In these geometries, the distance is understood in
the generalized sense as the value of a function called a metric. The validity of metric axioms is
not supposed. All these geometries are endowed with the maximum mobility, that is, there are
groups of motions of maximum dimensionality equal to $3$. Classification of such two-dimensional
geometries includes both well-known geometries (Euclidean, the pseudo-Euclidean, symplectic,
spherical, etc.), and unknown ones (the Helmholtz, pseudo-Helmholtz, dual Helmholtz, and
simplicial geometries).
In this paper, we use methods of Finsler geometry to study the properly Helmholtz twodimensional
geometry. In the first section, we introduce the definition of the properly Helmholtz
plane, and then we prove that it is a positive definite Finsler space (we check homogeneity and
positivity of the metric function, as well as the positive definiteness of the Finsler metric tensor).
The second section defines the properly Helmholtz two-dimensional manifold and proves that it is
also a positive definite Finsler space. Then we calculate the basic Finsler tensor $C_{ijk}$ and additional
$A_{ijk}$ tensor. With the help of these tensors, we find the Finsler scalar $J$ and prove that the special
Finsler curvature tensor $S^i_{jkl}$ for the properly Helmholtz two-dimensional manifold is zero.
