Title: Positive curvature problem in
homogeneous Finsler geometry
Abstract: In this talk I will
discuss the the following aspects in Finsler geometry. The homogeneous
Riemannian positive curvature problem, i.e. the classification of coset spaces,
admitting homogeneous metrics of positive sectional curvature. An informal
introduction to Finsler geometry, and a flag curvature formula of homogeneous
Finsler spaces. The main results on the classification of positively curved
homogeneous Finsler spaces and the ideas of the proof
