The Raychaudhuri equation has seen extensive use in general relativity, most notably in the development of various singularity theorems. In this rather technical article we shall generalize the Raychaudhuri equation in several ways. First…

In this paper, we define Jacobi fields for nonholonomic mechanics using a similar characterization than in Riemannian geometry. We give explicit conditions to find Jacobi fields and finally we find the nonholonomic Jacobi equations in two…

A classic problem in general relativity, long studied by both physicists and philosophers of physics, concerns whether the geodesic principle may be derived from other principles of the theory, or must be posited independently. In a recent…

We study the Jacobi osculating rank of geodesics on naturally reductive homogeneous manifolds and we apply this theory to the 3-dimensional case. Here, each non-symmetric, simply connected naturally reductive 3-manifold can be given as a…

We show that by employing the standard projected curvature as a measure of spatial curvature, we can make a certain generalization of optical geometry (Abramowicz and Lasota 1997, Class. Quantum Grav. 14 (1997) A23). This generalization…

Generated Jacobian Equations have been introduced by Trudinger [Disc. cont. dyn. sys (2014), pp. 1663-1681] as a generalization of Monge-Amp{\`e}re equations arising in optimal transport. In this paper, we introduce and study a damped…

Recently, general fractional calculus was introduced by Kochubei (2011) and Luchko (2021) as a further generalisation of fractional calculus, where the derivative and integral operator admits arbitrary kernel. Such a formalism will have…

We expect the final theory of gravity to have more symmetries than we suspect and our research points in this direction. To start with, standard general coordinate invariance can be extended to complex holomorphic general coordinate…

For an investigation of the physical properties of gravitational fields the observation of massive test particles and light is very useful. The characteristic features of a given space-time may be decoded by studying the complete set of all…

To a system of second order ordinary differential equations (SODE) one can assign a canonical nonlinear connection that describes the geometry of the system. In this work we develop a geometric setting that allows us to assign a canonical…
