In this manuscript, we investigate Finslerian exponentially harmonic functions. Analogous to the Riemannian case, a function u defined on a Finsler metric measure space (M,F,\mu) is said to be exponentially harmonic if it satisfies

\tilde{\Delta}_\mu u:=\mathrm{div}_\mu(V(u)Du)=0, (1.1)

where V(u)=\exp(\frac{1}{2}F^{*2}(Du)) represents the energy density of u . Such a function arises as a critical point of the exponential energy functional (see Theorem 3.1). Finsler metric measure spaces encompass a richer set of geometric tensors compared to Riemannian manifolds (cf. [11]). It is important to emphasize that (1.1) is not merely a quasilinear elliptic equation, as the underlying space is an anisotropic and asymmetric manifold. Within this framework, we establish the following theorem.

Theorem 1.1. Let (M,F,\mu) be a forward complete n -dimensional Finsler metric measure space with finite misalignment \alpha . Assume that the mixed weighted Ricci curvature ^m\mathrm{Ric}^\infty of M is nonnegative, and that the S -curvature as well as the non-Riemannian curvatures U , T and \mathrm{div}C=FC^i_{jk|i}dx^j\otimes dx^k satisfy the norm bound F^{-1}|S|+F(U)+F(T)+\|\mathrm{div}C\|_{HS(V)}\le K_0 , for any (x,V)\in SM . Then, any bounded exponentially harmonic function u on M is constant.

2 Related concepts and notations of the Finsler metric measure spaces

A Finsler metric measure space is a triple (M,F,\mu) , where M is a differentiable manifold equipped with a Finsler metric F and a Borel measure \mu . The Cartan tensor is defined by

C(X,Y,Z):=C_{ijk}X^iY^jZ^k=\frac{1}{4}\frac{\partial^3F^2(x,y)}{\partial y^i\partial y^j\partial y^k}X^iY^jZ^k,

for any local vector fields X,Y,Z . We always adopt the Chern connection, which is uniquely determined by

\nabla_X Y - \nabla_Y X = [X, Y]; \\ Z(g_y(X, Y)) - g_y(\nabla_Z X, Y) - g_y(X, \nabla_Z Y) = 2C_y(\nabla_Z y, X, Y),

for any X,Y,Z\in TM\setminus\{0\} , where C_y is the Cartan tensor. The coefficients of the Chern connection are locally expressed as \Gamma^i_{jk}(x,y) in natural coordinates. These coefficients induce the spray coefficients as G^i=\frac{1}{2}\Gamma^i_{jk}y^jy^k . The spray is given by

G=y^i\frac{\delta}{\delta x^i}=y^i\frac{\partial}{\partial x^i}-2G^i\frac{\partial}{\partial y^i}, (2.1)

where \frac{\delta}{\delta x^i}=\frac{\partial}{\partial x^i}-N^j_i\frac{\partial}{\partial y^j} , and the nonlinear connection coefficients N^i_j are locally derived from the spray coefficients as N^i_j=\frac{\partial G^i}{\partial y^j} . By convention, the horizontal Chern derivative is denoted by “ | ” and the vertical Chern derivative by “ ; ”. Let \hat{D} denote the Levi-Civita connection of the induced Riemannian metric \hat{g}=g_Y , and let \{e_i\}
