We undertake to show how the relativistic Finslerian Metric Function (FMF) should arise under uni-directional violation of spatial isotropy, keeping the condition that the indicatrix (mass-shell) is a space of constant negative curvature.…
In the standard approach to Finsler geometry the metric is defined as a vertical Hessian and the Chern or Cartan connections appear as just two among many possible natural linear connections on the pullback tangent bundle. Here it is shown…
In this paper, we study the uniform H\"older continuity of the generalized Riemann function $R_{\alpha,\beta}$ (with $\alpha>1$ and $\beta>0$) defined by \[ R_{\alpha,\beta}(x)=\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\frac{\sin(\pi n^\beta x)}{n^\alpha},\quad…
In this note we compare two ways of measuring the $n$-dimensional "flatness" of a set $S\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, where $n\in \mathbb{N}$ and $d>n$. The first one is to consider the classical Reifenberg-flat numbers $\alpha(x,r)$ ($x \in S$,…
In this note, we consider two Riemannian metrics on a moduli space of metric graphs. Each of them could be thought of as an analogue of the Weil-Petersson metric on the moduli space of metric graphs. We discuss and compare geometric…
In a previous paper [gr-qc/0104001; Class. Quant. Grav. 18 (2001) 3595-3610] we have shown that the occurrence of curved spacetime ``effective Lorentzian geometries'' is a generic result of linearizing an arbitrary classical field theory…
One of the most important problems in Finsler geometry is to classify Finsler metrics of scalar flag curvature. In this paper, we study the classification problem of Randers metrics of scalar flag curvature. Under the condition that $\beta$…
In this paper we first study some global properties of the energy functional on a non-reversible Finsler manifold. In particular we present a fully detailed proof of the Palais--Smale condition under the completeness of the Finsler metric.…
It is known that on a closed manifold of dimension greater than one, every smooth weak Riemannian metric on the space of smooth positive densities that is invariant under the action of the diffeomorphism group, is of the form $$…
This PhD dissertation covers a range of topics in Finsler geometry and Finsler gravity, most notably: (i) the characterization of Berwald spaces, (ii) pseudo-Riemann (non-)metrizability of Berwald spaces, (iii) $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics,…
A particular Finsler-metric proposed in [1,2] and describing a geometry with a preferred null direction is characterized here as belonging to a subclass contained in a larger class of Finsler-metrics with one or more preferred directions…
A new class of metric measure spaces is introduced and studied. This class generalises the well-established doubling metric measure spaces as well as the spaces (R^n,mu) with mu(B(x,r))<Cr^d, in which non-doubling harmonic analysis has…
Square metrics is an important class of Finsler metrics. Recently, we introduced a special class of non-regular Finsler metrics called singular square metrics. The main purpose of this paper is to provide a necessary and sufficient…
A homogeneous two-dimensional metric including the degrees of freedom of Teichm\"uller deformation is developed. The Teichm\"uller deformation is incorporated by affine stretching of complex structure. According to Yamada's investigation by…
I classify the Finsler structures on the 2-sphere that have constant Finsler-Gauss curvature and whose geodesics are the great circles. Modulo diffeomorphism, there is a 2-parameter family of such Finsler structures, only one of which is…
The Killing equation for a general Finsler space is set up. It is showed that the Killing equation of $(\alpha,\beta)$ space can be divided into two parts. One is the same with Killing equation of a Riemannian metric, another equation can…
In previous work, the author extended the Poincare Lie algebra to include a four position operator as a natural extension to a large fifteen parameter Lie algebra of operators. We here propose to generalize the metric contained in those…
Let $a\in (0, \infty)$, $\gamma(a)$ be the Generalized Euler-Mascheroni Constant, and let \begin{align*} &x_n=\frac1a+\frac{1}{a+1}+\cdots+\frac{1}{a+n-1}-\ln\frac{a+n}{a},\\…
We propose a slight variant of Ambrosio and Kirchheim's definition of a metric current. We show that with this new definition it is possible to obtain certain volume functionals from Finsler geometry as mass measures of currents. As an…
We define a new diffusive matrix model converging towards the $\beta$ -Dyson Brownian motion for all $\beta\in [0,2]$ that provides an explicit construction of $\beta$-ensembles of random matrices that is invariant under the…
