The Euler-lagrange Pde and Finsler Metrizability
In this paper we investigate the following question: under what conditions can a second-order homogeneous ordinary differential equation (spray) be the geodesic equation of a Finsler space. We show that the EulerLagrange partial differential system on the energy function can be reduced to a first order system on this same function. In this way we are able to give effective necessary and suffici...
متن کاملA New Proof of Szabó’s Theorem on the Riemann-metrizability of Berwald Manifolds
The starting point of the famous structure theorems on Berwald spaces due to Z.I. Szabó [4] is an observation on the Riemann-metrizability of positive definite Berwald manifolds. It states that there always exists a Riemannian metric on the underlying manifold such that its Levi-Civita connection is just the canonical connection of the Berwald manifold. In this paper we present a new elementary...
متن کاملBirefringence in pseudo–Finsler spacetimes
Based on the analogue spacetime programme, and many other ideas currently mooted in “quantum gravity”, there is considerable ongoing speculation that the usual pseudoRiemannian (Lorentzian) manifolds of general relativity might eventually be modified at short distances. Two specific modifications that are often advocated are the adoption of Finsler geometries (or more specifically, pseudo-Finsl...

15 صفحه اولFermat Principle in Finsler Spacetimes
It is shown that, on a manifold with a Finsler metric of Lorentzian signature, the lightlike geodesics satisfy the following variational principle. Among all lightlike curves from a point q (emission event) to a timelike curve γ (worldline of receiver), the lightlike geodesics make the arrival time stationary. Here “arrival time” refers to a parametrization of the timelike curve γ. This variati...
