Finsler manifolds with non-Riemannian holonomy
The aim of this paper is to show that holonomy properties of Finsler manifolds can be very different from those of Riemannian manifolds. We prove that the holonomy group of a positive definite non-Riemannian Finsler manifold of non-zero constant curvature with dimension > 2 cannot be a compact Lie group. Hence this holonomy group does not occur as the holonomy group of any Riemannian manifold. ...
متن کاملOn the k-nullity foliations in Finsler geometry
Here, a Finsler manifold $(M,F)$ is considered with corresponding curvature tensor, regarded as $2$-forms on the bundle of non-zero tangent vectors. Certain subspaces of the tangent spaces of $M$ determined by the curvature are introduced and called $k$-nullity foliations of the curvature operator. It is shown that if the dimension of foliation is constant, then the distribution is involutive...
متن کاملOn the Finsler modules over H-algebras
In this paper, applying the concept of generalized A-valued norm on a right $H^*$-module and also the notion of ϕ-homomorphism of Finsler modules over $C^*$-algebras we first improve the definition of the Finsler module over $H^*$-algebra and then define ϕ-morphism of Finsler modules over $H^*$-algebras. Finally we present some results concerning these new ones.
متن کاملOn non-Riemannian geometry of superfluids
The Gross-Pitaevski (GP) equation describing helium superfluids is extended to non-Riemannian spacetime background where torsion is shown to induce the splitting in the potential energy of the flow. A cylindrically symmetric solution for Minkowski background with constant torsion is obtained which shows that torsion induces a damping on the superfluid flow velocity. The Sagnac phase shift is co...
متن کاملProbing non-Riemannian spacetime geometry
The equations of motion for matter in non-Riemannian spacetimes are derived via a multipole method. It is found that only test bodies with microstructure couple to the non-Riemannian spacetime geometry. Consequently it is impossible to detect spacetime torsion with the satellite experiment Gravity Probe B, contrary to some recent claims in the literature.
