Riemannian Structure imposed on Friedmann and more general spacetimes

Abstract

In the paper we consider two Finsler-like Riemannian metrics, which can be in a natural way introduced into general relativity. One of those metrics γab\gamma_{ab} is degenerate and the second habh_{ab} is nondegenerate. We are mainly interested with the metric habh_{ab} and comparing the geometric structure determined by this metric habh_{ab} with the geometric structure determined by the Lorentzian metric gabg_{ab} of the underlying spacetime. Full comparison we have given for Friedmann Universis. The preliminary version of the paper was presented by one of us (J.G.) on conference POTOR 6 in Szczecin 2019. We think that the our introduction of the Riemannian metric habh_{ab} into spacetime is simpler and more general than to so-called Wick rotation.
