Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we study Clifford–Wolf translations of Finsler spaces. We give a characterization of those Clifford–Wolf translations generated by Killing vector fields. In particular, we show that there is a natural interrelation between the local one-parameter groups of Clifford–Wolf translations and the Killing vector fields of constant length. In the special case of homogeneous Randers spaces, we give some explicit sufficient and necessary conditions for a Killing vector field to have a constant length, in which case the local one-parameter group of isometries generated by the Killing field consist of Clifford–Wolf translations. Finally, we construct explicit examples to explain some of the results of this paper.
