1. Introduction
In 1973, Sinha and Singh studied the properties of recurrent tensors in recurrent Finsler space [1]. Several works on recurrent Finsler space were done in the years 1973 and 1987. Verma (1991) discussed the recurrence property of Cartan’s third curvature tensor
[2]. Dikshit (1992) discussed the bi-recurrence of Berwald curvature tensor
[3]. Qasem (2000) introduced and studied the recurrence conditions of the curvature tensor
in the sense of Berwald [4]. Qasem and Abdallah (2016) defined a generalized BR-recurrent Finsler space and obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions for the Berwald curvature tensor and Cartan’s fourth curvature tensorto be generalized recurrent [5]. The generalized BK - recurrent Finsler space was introduced by Qasem and Baleedi (2016) this space whose Cartan’s fourth curvature tensor
satisfies a recurrence relation [6]. They showed that the K-Ricci tensor, the curvature vector, and the curvature scalar are non-vanishing in the BK-recurrent Finsler space. Al-Qashbari and Qasem (2017) [7] Studied on generalized BR-Trirecurrent Finsler Space. In 2020, Al-Qashbari [8] introduced some identities for generalized curvature tensors in B-recurrent Finsler space. Bidabad and Sepasi, [9] completed Finsler spaces of constant negative Ricci curvature. Abu-Donia, Shenawy, and Abdehameed [10] studied the W*-Curvature Tensor on Relativistic Space- times. Verstraelen [11] established a new submanifolds theory a contemplation of submanifolds in geometry of submanifolds. Deszcz, Głogowska, and Zafindratafa [12] established some conditions on hypersurfaces. In 2021, Opondo [13] studied the decomposition of Weyl projective curvature tensor in recurrent and bi-recurrent Finsler space. Chen [14] developmental Wintgen inequality and Wintgen ideal submanifolds. Eyasmin [15] studied hypersurfaces in a conformally flat space. Deszcz and Hotloś [16] defined and studied the geodesic mappings in a particular class of roter spaces. Deszcz, M. Głogowska, and M. Hotloś[17] studied the OpozdaVerstraelen affine curvature tensor on hypersurfaces. Decu, Deszcz, and Haesen [18] studied the classification of Roter-type spacetimes. In 2022, Deszcz, Głogowska, Hotloś, and Sawicz [19] studied the particular Roter-type equation on hypersurfaces in space forms. Derdzinski and Terek [20] introduced new examples of compact Weyl-parallel manifolds. Also they [21] studied the topology of compact rank-one ECSmanifolds. In 2023, Al-Qashbari and Al-Maisary [22] studied generalized BW- fourth recurrent in Finsler space. Shaikh, Hul, Datta, and Sakar [23] established new relations between the Kulkarni-Nomizu product of two (0,2) type tensors and the curvature tensors of type (0,4). Ali, Salman, Rahaman, and Pundeer, [24] obtained some properties of M-projective curvature tensor in spacetime.
Delving into the properties of an n-dimensional Finsler space Fn, we assume that its metric function F adheres to the established conditions outlined in the works of Deszcz, M. Głogowska, and M. Hotloś [17].

A Finsler space in which the Berwald connection parameter
does not depend on the directional coefficients yi is known as an affinely connected space (Berwald space) [17].
Therefore, an affinely connected space is defined by one of the equivalent conditions

Theorem 4.3: In the GBK-5RFn, the Cartan’s third curvature tensor
and the Berwald covariant derivative of the fifth order for conformal curvature tensor
linking together by the relation (4.7).
The linking of Cartan’s third curvature tensor with the conformal curvature tensor is a relationship between two tensors in differential geometry. The first tensor is Cartan’s third curvature tensor which measures the local curvature of a metric space. The second tensor is the conformal curvature tensor which measures the local curvature of a transformed metric space. The relationship states that Cartan’s third curvature tensor can be expressed as the product of the conformal curvature tensor and the metric factor.
The relationship linking Cartan’s third curvature tensor with the conformal curvature tensor can be used to study the properties of transformed metric spaces. For example, it can be used to determine whether the metric space is connected or not.
Findings summary
In general relativity, the metric in Finsler space is defined as a function that depends on the velocity vector. A recurrent Finsler space is a Finsler space where the metric is symmetric around the velocity vector. The fifth order is the order of the velocity vector. In this context, (recurrent) refers to the fact that the metric depends on the velocity vector up to the fifth order. A generalized fifth-order recurrent Finsler space can be used to:
- Describe anti-desitter spacetime, where the metric is negative.
- Describe curved spacetime, where the metric depends on the spatial and temporal coordinates.
- Describe multi-dimensional spacetime, where there are more than three spatial dimensions.
Conclusion
A generalized fifth-order recurrent Finsler space is a new geometric structure with great potential. It can be used to describe a variety of geometric structures. Research on these new structures is still ongoing, but there are many potential applications for them. For example: developing new models of the universe, studying the properties of dark matter, and developing new technologies for space travel.
