We derive the exact equations of motion (in Newtonian, F=ma, form) for test masses in Schwarzschild and Gullstrand-Painlev\'e coordinates. These equations of motion are simpler than the usual geodesic equations obtained from Christoffel…
Anisotropy of a space naturally leads to direction dependent electromagnetic tensors and electromagnetic potentials. Starting from this idea and using variational approaches and exterior derivative formalism, we extend some of the classical…

The interaction between spin and gravitational waves causes spinning bodies to deviate from their geodesics. In this work, we obtain the analytic solution of the Mathisson--Papapetrou--Dixon equations at linear order in the spin for plane…
Let $R$ be the $hh$-curvature associated with the Chern connection or the Cartan connection. Adopting the pulled-back tangent bundle approach to the Finslerian Geometry, an intrinsic characterization of $R$-Einstein metrics is given.…
It is proven that the Poincare symmetry determines equations of motion, which are for massless particles of any spin in d-dimensional spaces linear in the momentum. The proof is made only for even d and for fields with no gauge symmetry. We…
We write the Mathisson-Papapetrou equations of motion for a spinning particle in a stationary spacetime using the quasi-Maxwell formalism and give an interpretation of the coupling between spin and curvature. The formalism is then used to…
The paper aims to initiate a systematic study of conformal mappings between Finsler spacetimes and, more generally, between pseudo-Finsler spaces. This is done by extending several results in pseudo-Riemannian geometry which are necessary…
We give a Finsler non-linear connection by a new simplified definition for not only regular case but also singular case. In regular case, it corresponds to non-linear connection part of Berwald's connection, but our connection is expressed…
In this paper, we consider fully nonlinear equations of Krylov type on Riemannian manifolds with negative curvature which naturally arise in conformal geometry. Moreover, we prove the a priori estimates for solutions to these equations and…

The objective of this article is to build up a general theory of geometrical optics for spinning light rays in an inhomogeneous and anisotropic medium modeled on a Finsler manifold. The prerequisites of local Finsler geometry are reviewed…
The subject of moving curves (and surfaces) in three dimensional space (3-D) is a fascinating topic not only because it represents typical nonlinear dynamical systems in classical mechanics, but also finds important applications in a…
We give an introduction to (pseudo-)Finsler geometry and its connections. For most results we provide short and self contained proofs. Our study of the Berwald non-linear connection is framed into the theory of connections over general…
We study a deformation of infinitesimal diffeomorphisms of a smooth manifold. The deformation is based on a general twist. This leads to a differential geometry on a noncommutative algebra of functions whose product is a star-product. The…
Some links between Lorentz and Finsler geometries have been developed in the last years, with applications even to the Riemannian case. Our purpose is to give a brief description of them, which may serve as an introduction to recent…
Several relativistic quantum gravitational effects such as spin-rotation coupling, gravitomagnetic charge and gravitational Meissner effect are investigated in the present letter. The field equation of gravitomagnetic matter is suggested…
How do test bodies move in scalar-tensor theories of gravitation? We provide an answer to this question on the basis of a unified multipolar scheme. In particular, we give the explicit equations of motion for pointlike, as well as spinning…
A class of theories of gravitation that naturally incorporates preferred frames of reference is presented. The underlying space-time geometry consists of a partial parallelization of space-time and has properties of Riemann-Cartan as well…
For a simplicial manifold we construct the differential geometry structure and use it to investigate linear connections, metric and gravity. We discuss and compare three main approaches and calculate the resulting gravity action…
