Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

We view the following three results as main scientific outcome of the project. • We have shown that geodesic random walks on a complete Finsler manifold of bounded geometry converge to a diffusion process which is, up to a drift, the Brownian motion corresponding to a Riemannian metric. In particular, we theoretically explained a known phenomenon that it is almost impossible to experimentally distinguish the Brownian motion coming from a Finsler metric from the one coming from an appropriate Riemannian metric. • We have also shown that a C 1 smooth Riemanian metric whose Riemannian curvature is zero in the weak sense has constant components in a coordinate system, and established existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions of the corresponding Dirichlet-Neumann and Dirichlet problems inside a bounded convex domain. • We found local necessary and sufficient conditions for a bilinear form to be flat. More precisely, we gave explicit necessary and sufficient conditions for a tensor field of type (0,2) which is not necessary symmetric or skewsymmetric, and is possibly degenerate, to have constant entries in a local coordinate system.
