by Robert Bryant
Bryant settles a well-known open problem in Finsler geometry by proving that a reversible Finsler metric on the two-sphere with constant curvature is Riemannian.

What is wrong with the Hausdorff measure in Finsler spaces
by J.C. Álvarez Paiva and G. Berck.
The authors show that if the Hausdorff measure is used as a notion of volume on Finsler spaces, then totally geodesic submanifolds are not necessarily minimal, filling results such as that of Sergey Ivanov do not hold, and integral geometric formulas do not exist. On the other hand, using the Holmes-Thompson definition of volume, the authors prove a general Crofton formula for Finsler spaces and give a simple proof that their totally geodesic hypersurfaces are minimal.
