Arrivals of Hilbert and Minkowski at $G\ddot{o}ttingen$ put mathematical science there in full flourish. They further extended its strong mathematical tradition of Gauss and Riemann. Though Riemann envisioned Finsler metric and gave an example of it in his inaugural lecture of 1854, Finsler geometry was officially named after Minkowski's academic grandson Finsler. His tool to generalize Riemannian geometry was the calculus of variations of which his advisor $Carath\acute{e}odory$ was a master. Another $G\ddot{o}ttingen$ graduate Busemann regraded Finsler geometry as a special case of geometry of metric spaces. He was a student of Courant who was a student of Hilbert. These figures all at $G\ddot{o}ttingen$ created and developed Finsler geometry in its early stages. In this paper, we investigate history of works on Finsler geometry contributed by these frontiers.

Given a Riemannian manifold (M, $\alpha$) with an almost Hermitian structure f and a non-vanishing covariant vector field b, consider the generalized Randers metric $L\;=\;{\alpha}+{\beta}$, where $\beta$ is a special singular Riemannian metric defined by b and f. This metric L is called an (a, b, f)-metric. We compute the inverse and the determinant of the fundamental tensor ($g_{ij}$) of an (a, b, f)-metric. Then we determine the maximal domain D of $TM{\backslash}O$ for an (a, b, f)-manifold where a y-local Finsler structure L is defined. And then we show that any (a, b, f)-manifold is quasi-C-reducible and find a condition under which an (a, b, f)-manifold is C-reducible.

Let M be a hypersurface of dimension n(.geq.2) in an (n+1)-dimensional real space form over bar M(c) with constant curvature c and H the second fundamental tensor of M. M is said to be birecurrent if here exists a covariant tensor field .alpha. of order 2 such that .del.$^{2}$H=H .alpha., where .del. is the connection of M. Also, M is said to be recurrent if there exists a 1-form .betha. such that .del.H=H .betha.. Matsuyama [2] recently proved that a recurrent hypersurface M in a real space form is locally symmetric and a complete irreducible birecurrent hypersurface M in a real space form is recurrent. The main purpose of this paper is to characterize the birecurrent or recurrent hypersurface M of a Riemannian manifold with constant curvature c and to prove that M is classified as a cylinder, $M^{n}$ (c) or ( $c_{1}$)* $M^{n-r}$ ( $c_{2}$) where 1/ $c_{1}$+1/ $c_{2}$=1/c.

In this paper, we investigate exponentially biharmonic maps u : (M, g) ${\rightarrow}$ (N, h) from a Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian manifold with non-positive sectional curvature. We obtain that if $\int_{M}e^{\frac{p{\mid}r(u){\mid}^2}{2}{\mid}{\tau}(u){\mid}^pdv_g$ < ${\infty}$ ($p{\geq}2$), $\int_{M}{\mid}{\tau}(u){\mid}^2dv_g$ < ${\infty}$ and $\int_{M}{\mid}d(u){\mid}^2dv_g$ < ${\infty}$, then u is harmonic. When u is an isometric immersion, we get that if $\int_{M}e^{\frac{pm^2{\mid}H{\mid}^2}{2}}{\mid}H{\mid}^qdv_g$ < ${\infty}$ for 2 ${\leq}$ p < ${\infty}$ and 0 < q ${\leq}$ p < ${\infty}$, then u is minimal. We also obtain that any weakly convex exponentially biharmonic hypersurface in space form N(c) with $c{\leq}0$ is minimal. These results give affirmative partial answer to conjecture 3 (generalized Chen's conjecture for exponentially biharmonic submanifolds).

Let $(M,g_M,F)$ be a (p+q)-dimensional connected Riemannian manifold with a foliation $F$ of codimension q and a complete bundle-like metric $g_M$ with respect to $F$. Let $Ric_D$ be the transverse Ricci field of $F$ with respect to the transverse Riemannian connection D which is a torsion-free and $g_Q$-metrical connection on the normal bundle Q of $F$. We consider transverse confomal (or, projective) fields of $F$. It is clear that a tranverse Killing field s of $F$ preserves the transverse Ricci field of $F$, that is, $\Theta(s)Ric_D = 0$, where $\Theta(s)$ denotes the transverse Lie differentiation with respect to s.

We will estimate the lower bound of the first nonzero Neumann and Dirichlet eigenvalue of Laplacian equation on compact Riemannian manifold M with boundary. In case that the boundary of M has positive second fundamental form elements, Ly-Yau[3] gave the lower bound of the first nonzero neumann eigenvalue $\eta_1$. In case that the second fundamental form elements of $\partial$M is bounded below by negative constant, Roger Chen[4] investigated the lower bound of $\eta_1$. In [1], [2], we obtained the lower bound of the first nonzero Neumann eigenvalue is estimated under the condtion that the second fundamental form elements of boundary is bounded below by zero. Moreover, I realize that "the interior rolling $\varepsilon$ - ball condition" is not necessary when the first Dirichlet eigenvalue was estimated in [1].ed in [1].

In this article we make a local classification of n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds (M, g) with harmonic curvature and less than four Ricci eigenvalues which admit a smooth non constant solution f to the following equation $$(1)\hspace{20}{\nabla}df=f(r-{\frac{R}{n-1}}g)+x{\cdot} r+y(R)g,$$ where ∇ is the Levi-Civita connection of g, r is the Ricci tensor of g, x is a constant and y(R) a function of the scalar curvature R. Indeed, we showed that, in a neighborhood V of each point in some open dense subset of M, either (i) or (ii) below holds; (i) (V, g, f + x) is a static space and isometric to a domain in the Riemannian product of an Einstein manifold N and a static space (W, gW, f + x), where gW is a warped product metric of an interval and an Einstein manifold. (ii) (V, g) is isometric to a domain in the warped product of an interval and an Einstein manifold. For the proof we use eigenvalue analysis based on the Codazzi tensor properties of the Ricci tensor.

In this paper, we investigate p-biharmonic maps u : (M, g) $\rightarrow$ (N, h) from a Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian manifold with non-positive sectional curvature. We obtain that if ${\int}_M|{\tau}(u)|^{{\alpha}+p}dv_g$ < ${\infty}$ and ${\int}_M|d(u)|^2dv_g$ < ${\infty}$, then u is harmonic, where ${\alpha}{\geq}0$ is a nonnegative constant and $p{\geq}2$. We also obtain that any weakly convex p-biharmonic hypersurfaces in space formN(c) with $c{\leq}0$ is minimal. These results give affirmative partial answer to Conjecture 2 (generalized Chen's conjecture for p-biharmonic submanifolds).

We prove that for any continuous function f on the s-harmonic (1{\infty})$ boundary of a complete Riemannian manifold M, there exists a solution, which is a limit of a sequence of bounded energy finite solutions in the sense of supremum norm, for a certain elliptic operator A on M whose boundary value at each s-harmonic boundary point coincides with that of f. If $E_1,\;E_2,...,E_{\iota}$ are s-nonparabolic ends of M, then we also prove that there is a one to one correspondence between the set of bounded energy finite solutions for A on M and the Cartesian product of the sets of bounded energy finite solutions for A on $E_i$ which vanish at the boundary ${\partial}E_{\iota}\;for\;{\iota}=1,2,...,{\iota}$

Let N be a complete Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature and let M be a complete noncompact oriented stable minimal hypersurface in N. We prove that if M has at least two ends and ${\int}_M{\mid}A{\mid}^2\;dv={\infty}$, then M admits a nonconstant harmonic function with finite Dirichlet integral, where A is the second fundamental form of M. We also show that the space of $L^2$ harmonic 1-forms on such a stable minimal hypersurface is not trivial. Our result is a generalization of one of main results in [12] because if N has nonnegative sectional curvature, then M admits no nonconstant harmonic functions with finite Dirichlet integral. And our result recovers a main theorem in [3] as a corollary.
