Homogeneous Finsler Spaces is the first book to emphasize the relationship between Lie groups and Finsler geometry, and the first to show the validity in using Lie theory for the study of Finsler geometry problems. This book contains a series of new results obtained by the author and collaborators during the last decade. The topic of Finsler geometry has developed rapidly in recent years. One of the main reasons for its surge in development is its use in many scientific fields, such as general relativity, mathematical biology, and phycology (study of algae). This monograph introduces the most recent developments in the study of Lie groups and homogeneous Finsler spaces, leading the reader to directions for further development. The book contains many interesting results such as a Finslerian version of the Myers-Steenrod Theorem, the existence theorem for invariant non-Riemannian Finsler metrics on coset spaces, the Berwaldian characterization of globally symmetric Finsler spaces, the construction of examples of reversible non-Berwaldian Finsler spaces with vanishing S-curvature, and a classification of homogeneous Randers spaces with isotropic S-curvature and positive flag curvature. Readers with some background in Lie theory or differential geometry can quickly begin studying problems concerning Lie groups and Finsler geometry.

This book is translated from the Chinese version published by Science Press, Beijing, China, in 2017. It was written for the Chern class in mathematics of Nankai University and has been used as the textbook for the course Abstract Algebra for this class for more than five years. It has also been adapted in abstract algebra courses in several other distinguished universities across China.The aim of this book is to introduce the fundamental theories of groups, rings, modules, and fields, and help readers set up a solid foundation for algebra theory. The topics of this book are carefully selected and clearly presented. This is an excellent mathematical exposition, well-suited as an advanced undergraduate textbook or for independent study. The book includes many new and concise proofs of classical theorems, along with plenty of basic as well as challenging exercises.
