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
