Overview of Research work
The study of Differential geometry makes us aware of the potential applications of exploring non-linear aspects and non-trivial symmetries arising in various models of gravity, classical and quantum field theory and geometric mechanics. Finsler geometry has its roots in various problems of Differential Equations, Calculus of Variations, Mechanics and Theoretical Physics. The basic idea of Finsler space came from the groundbreaking "habilitation" lecture of Riemann: Uber die Hypothesen, Welch der Geometric zugrnde liegen (On the Hypothesis, which lie at the Foundations of Geometry). During the last thirty years, Finsler geometry has gone under remarkable developments. Specially, a lot of results from Riemannian manifolds have been extended for Finsler manifolds by the researchers from all over the world. Presently, Finsler geometry has found an abundance of applications in both Physics and its applications. Such applications include not only the traditional area of general Relativity, but also the theory of Yang-Mills fields, non-linear sigma models, superstring theory, and other types of non-linear field systems that feature in modern elementary particle theory and quantum gravity and Biology. In Biology, there are a lot of Finsler metrics which are suitable to describe biological models like Protein structure, coral reef ecology, etc.
The applications of Finsler geometry in various fields of science and its pure impact on real life problems motivate researchers to do research in this beautiful area of mathematics. We are particularly interested to work in Riemann- Finsler geometry. We have worked on several interesting and important topics of Finsler Geometry like Conformal transformation of Finsler spaces, Projective change and Projective flatness of Finsler spaces, Hypersurface of Finsler spaces with (α,β) metric, Finsler-Cartan duality in which we have obtained L-duals of Finsler spaces with (α,β)-metrics, Main scalars of Finsler spaces, Non-holonomic frames in Finsler geometry, existence of reversible geodesics in Finsler spaces, locally duallly flatness of Finsler spaces and Unicorn problems. Currently, we are working on Homogeneous Finsler spaces, Symmetric Finsler spaces Geometry of Finsler spaces with some special (α,β)-metrics, and some more interesting current topics. Further, we have also started some work on submanifolds theory.
