Among the general class of metric-affine theories of gravity, there is a special class conformed by those endowed with a projective symmetry. Perhaps the simplest manner to realise this symmetry is by constructing the action in terms of the…
The present paper is devoted to the investigation of absolutely continuous curves in asymmetric metric spaces induced by Finsler structures. Firstly, for asymmetric spaces induced by Finsler manifolds, we show that three different kinds of…
A new method is proposed for modelling spherically symmetric inhomogeneities in the Universe. The inhomogeneities have finite size and are compensated, so they do not exert any measurable gravitational force beyond their boundary. The…

The lightlike geometry of codimension two spacelike submanifolds in Lorentz-Minkowski space has been developed in [Izumiya, S. and Romero Fuster, M. C. Selecta Mathematica (NS), 13 23--55 (2007)] which is a natural Lorentzian analogue of…
It is straightforward to take the gravitational wave solution to first order in $v/c$ far from a binary source in a Minkowski background and adapt it to the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) background, representing an expanding…
In this paper, we numerically study Turing patterns by the Finsler geometry (FG) modeling technique on thermally fluctuating triangular lattices, which are often used for modeling cell membranes or lipid membranes, focusing on the origin of…
The geometry of mesoscopic inhomogeneities plays an important role in determining the macroscopic propagation behaviors of elastic waves in a heterogeneous medium. Nonequiaxed inhomogeneities can lead to anisotropic wave velocity and…
We present a phenomenological model for the nature in the Finsler and Randers space-time geometries. We show that the parity-odd light speed anisotropy perpendicular to the gravitational equipotential surfaces encodes the deviation from the…

We construct counterexamples to inverse problems for the wave operator on domains in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n \ge 2$, and on Lorentzian manifolds. We show that non-isometric Lorentzian metrics can lead to same partial data measurements, which…

Satellite observations of acoustic-gravity waves in the polar regions of the atmosphere indicate a close connection of these waves with wind flows. The paper investigates the peculiarities of the propagation of AGWs in spatially…
The propagation and refraction of a cylindrical wave created by a line current through a slab of backward wave medium, also called left-handed medium, is numerically studied with FDTD. The slab is assumed to be uniaxially anisotropic.…
For some anisotropic wave models, the PML (perfectly matched layer) method of open boundaries can become polynomially or exponentially unstable in time. In this work we present a new method of open boundaries, the phase space filter, which…
