A **Finsler manifold** is a generalization of a Riemannian manifold that allows for the length of tangent vectors to be defined in a more flexible way. While Riemannian geometry is based on a positive-definite inner product that varies smoothly from point to point, Finsler geometry introduces a more general function, referred to as the **Finsler metric**, which defines the length of tangent vectors.
