Toward a Gravitation Theory in Berwald–Finsler Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
Finsler geometry is a natural and fundamental generalization of Riemann geometry. The Finsler structure depends on both coordinates and velocities. It is defined as a function on tangent bundle of a manifold. We use the Bianchi identities satisfied by Chern curvature to set up a gravitation theory in Berwald-Finsler space. The geometric part of the gravitational field equation is nonsymmetric in general. This indicates that the local Lorentz invariance is violated. Nontrivial solutions of the gravitational field equation are presented. PACS numbers: 02.40.-k, 04.20.-q [email protected] [email protected]

Properties of Generalized Berwald Connections
Recently the present authors introduced a general class of Finsler connections which leads to a smart representation of connection theory in Finsler geometry and yields to a classification of Finsler connections into the three classes. Here the properties of one of these classes namely the Berwald-type connections which contains Berwald and Chern(Rund) connections as a special case is studied. ...
متن کاملModified Friedmann model in Randers-Finsler space of approximate Berwald type as a possible alternative to dark energy hypothesis
Gravitational field equations in Randers-Finsler space of approximate Berwald type are investigated. A modified Friedmann model is proposed. It is showed that the accelerated expanding universe is guaranteed by a constrained RandersFinsler structure without invoking dark energy. The geodesic in Randers-Finsler space is studied. The additional term in the geodesic equation acts as repulsive forc...
متن کاملConcurrent vector fields on Finsler spaces
In this paper, we prove that a non-Riemannian isotropic Berwald metric or a non-Riemannian (α,β) -metric admits no concurrent vector fields. We also prove that an L-reducible Finsler metric admitting a concurrent vector field reduces to a Landsberg metric.In this paper, we prove that a non-Riemannian isotropic Berwald metric or a non-Riemannian (α,β) -metric admits no concurrent vector fi...
متن کاملBerwald metrics constructed by Chevalley’s polynomials
Berwald metrics are particular Finsler metrics which still have linear Berwald connections. Their complete classification is established in an earlier work, [Sz1], of this author. The main tools in these classification are the Simons-Berger holonomy theorem and the Weyl-group theory. It turnes out that any Berwald metric is a perturbed-Cartesian product of Riemannian, Minkowski, and such non-Ri...
متن کاملGeodesics on the Indicatrix of a Complex Finsler Manifold
In this note the geometry of the indicatrix (I, L̃) is studied as a hypersurface of a complex Finsler space (M,L). The induced Chern-Finsler and Berwald connections are defined and studied. The induced Berwald connection coincides with the intrinsic Berwald connection of the indicatrix bundle. We considered a special projection of a geodesic curve on a complex Finsler space (M,L), called the ind...
