We model pseudo–Finsler geometries, with pseudo–Euclidean signatures of metrics, for two classes of four dimensional nonholonomic manifolds: a) tangent bundles with two dimensional base manifolds and b) pseudo–Riemannian/ Einstein manifolds. Such spacetimes are enabled with nonholonomic distributions and associated nonlinear connection structures and theirs metrics are solutions of the field eq...

In this article, we review the current status of Finsler–Lagrange geometry and generalizations. The goal is to aid non–experts on Finsler spaces, but physicists and geometers skilled in general relativity and particle theories, to understand the crucial importance of such geometric methods for applications in modern physics. We also would like to orient mathematicians working in generalized Fin...

A geometric procedure is elaborated for transforming (pseudo) Riemanian metrics and connections into canonical geometric objects (metric and nonlinear and linear connections) for effective Lagrange, or Finsler, geometries which, in their turn, can be equivalently represented as almost Kähler spaces. This allows us to formulate an approach to quantum gravity following standard methods of deforma...

In this paper we extend the study of the indicatrix of a complex Finsler space initiated in [10, 11]. The equations that can be introduced on the indicatrix, which is studied as a hypersurface of a complex Finsler space, are investigated. In this manner, using the equations of Gauss-Weingarten, the link between the intrinsic and induced connection is deduced. The equations of Gauss, H -and A-Co...

We propose a natural Fedosov type quantization of generalized Lagrange models and gravity theories with metrics lifted on tangent bundle, or extended to higher dimension, following some stated geometric/ physical conditions (for instance, nonholonomic and/or conformal transforms to some physically important metrics or mapping into a gauge model). Such generalized Lagrange transforms define cano...

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...

Let x : (M, F ) →֒ (V n+1, F ) be a simply connected hypersurface in a Minkowski space (V n+1, F ). In this paper, using the Gauss formula of Chern connection on Finsler submanifolds, we shall prove that if x(p) is normal to Tp(M)(∀p ∈ M), then M with the induced metric is isometric to the standard Euclidean sphere.

This article uses the Berwald connection exclusively, together with its two curvatures, to cut an efficient path across the landscape of Finsler geometry. Its goal is to initiate differential geometers into two key research areas in the field: the search for unblemished “unicorns” and the study of Ricci flow. The exposition is almost self-contained.

Kinematic and geometrical aspects of the connection between energy and inertial mass are considered. Transformations of coordinate and time are obtained in a two-dimensional flat space. For this case the Euclidean, pseudo-Euclidean and Galilean kinematics are considered. A new interval in a flat fourdimensional anisotropic Finsler space is found. Under certain assumptions the known results foll...
