This paper shows the relationship between geometric objects in anisotropic conformal transformations, suggesting necessary conditions for various surface types.
This paper is a continuation of our investigation of the anisotropic conformal change of a conic pseudo-Finsler surface $(M,F)$, namely, the change F̄(x,y)=eφ(x,y)F(x,y) {first paper}. We obtain the relationship between some important geometric objects of F and their corresponding objects of F̄, such as Berwald, Landsberg and Douglas tensors, as well as the T-tensor. In contrast to isotropic conformal transformation, under an anisotropic conformal transformation, we find out the necessary and sufficient conditions for a Riemannian surface to be anisotropically conformal transformed to Berwald or Landsberg or Douglas surfaces. Consequently, we determine under what condition the geodesic spray of a two-dimensional pseudo-Berwald metric F̄ is Riemann metrizable by a two-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian metric F. We show an example of a conformal transformation of a Riemannian metric F that is not geodesically equivalent to a Riemannian metric but is instead Berwaldian. Also, we determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for F to be anisotropically conformally flat (i.e., F̄ is Minkowskian). Moreover, we identify the required conditions for preserving the T-condition under an anisotropic conformal change. Finally, we establish the necessary conditions for a Riemannian metric to be anisotropically conformal to a Douglas metric.
