Some results on fundamental groups and Betti numbers of Finsler manifolds
The paper represents a study regarding the relationship between the Ricci curvature and the fundamental groups of Finsler manifolds. For compact Finsler manifolds, the authors give an estimate of the first Betti number and prove two finiteness theorems for fundamental groups. They consider the growth of fundamental groups of Finsler manifolds with almost-nonnegative Ricci curvature.
