The Bonnet-Myers theorem on Finsler manifolds with integral weighted Ricci curvature bounds

Abstract

In this paper, we derive some new relative volume comparison theorems and Bishop-Gromov volume comparisons on Finsler metric measure manifolds, all of which are controlled by the integral weighted Ricci curvature. In particular, we establish a Bishop-Gromov volume comparison theorem for nonconcentric balls. Based on these, we prove a theorem of Bonnet-Myers type on Finsler metric measure manifolds with integral weighted Ricci curvature bounds.
