Abstract

Let (M,F)(M,F) be a connected Finsler space. An isometry of (M,F)(M,F) is called a Clifford-Wolf translation (or simply CW-translation) if it moves all points the same distance. The compact Finsler space (M,F)(M,F) is called restrictively Clifford-Wolf homogeneous (restrictively CW-homogeneous) if for any two sufficiently close points x1,x2∈Mx_1,x_2\in M, there exists a CW-translation σσ such that σ(x1)=x2σ(x_1)=x_2. In this paper, we define the good normalized datum for a homogeneous non-Riemannian (α,β)(α,β)-space, and use it to study the restrictive CW-homogeneity of left invariant (α,β)(α,β)-metrics on a compact connected semisimple Lie group. We prove that a left invariant restrictively CW-homogeneous (α,β)(α,β)-metric on a compact semisimple Lie group must be of the Randers type. This gives a complete classification of left invariant (α,β)(α,β)-metrics on compact semi-simple Lie groups which are restrictively Clifford-Wolf homogeneous.
