We present a generalization of the spinor and twistor geometry for on (pseudo) Riemannian manifolds enabled with nonholonomic distributions or for Finsler-Cartan spaces modelled on tangent Lorentz bundles. Nonholonomic (Finsler) twistors…

We briefly review two recently developed extensions of the Lorentzian geometry of spacetime and prove that they are in fact closely related. The first is the concept of observer space, which generalizes the space of Lorentzian observers,…

We briefly review some basic concepts of parallel displacement in Finsler geometry. In general relativity, the parallel translation of objects along the congruence of the fundamental observer corresponds to the evolution in time. By…

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,…

Physical foundations for relativistic spacetimes are revisited, in order to check at what extent Finsler spacetimes lie in their framework. Arguments based on inertial observers (as in the foundations of Special Relativity and Classical…

We develop the method of anholonomic frames with associated nonlinear connection (in brief, N--connection) structure and show explicitly how geometries with local anisotropy (various type of Finsler--Lagrange--Cartan--Hamilton geometry) can…

The introduction of General Relativity (GR) in 1915 revolutionized our understanding of gravity, but over time, its limitations in explaining phenomena like dark energy, dark matter, and quantum gravity have motivated alternative theories.…

A common feature of all Quantum Gravity (QG) phenomenology approaches is to consider a modification of the mass shell condition of the relativistic particle to take into account quantum gravitational effects. The framework for such…
