A natural Finsler-Laplace operator

Abstract: Abstract. We give a new definition of a Laplace operator for Finsler metric as an average with regard to an angle measure of the second directional derivatives. This definition uses a dynamical approach due to Foulon that does not require the use of connections or local coordinates. We give explicit representations and computations of spectral data for this operator in the case of Katok-Ziller metrics on the sphere and the torus.

“…It follows from the work by Kirchheim [22] and Ambrosio and Kirchheim [3] that rectifiable currents T with associated mass measures T are concentrated on a set that in a measure-theoretic sense is locally Finsler, and Lipschitz functions f on these sets are almost-everywhere tangentially differentiable, with tangential derivative d f . Even for Finsler spaces, there does not seem to be a canonical choice of a Laplace operator, see for instance the works by Bao and Lackey [5], Shen [29], Centore [10] and Barthelmé [7]. In Section 3, we will use the local Finsler structure and the tangential derivatives of Lipschitz functions to define a Dirichlet energy of Lipschitz functions f defined on an integral current T by…”

“…Recently, there are many mathematicians who have investigated properties of the eigenvalues of p-Laplacian on Finsler manifolds and Riemannian manifolds to estimate the spectrum in terms of the other geometric quantities of the manifold. (see [3,4,9,11,18,20]). …”

“…For instance, to our knowledge, the only known result about eigenvalues is given by Munteanu [16] in the case of Randers spaces. Following an idea of Patrick Foulon, the first author introduced in [3] another generalization of the Laplace operator which seems more approachable and that we study in this article.…”
