These lectures give an introduction to Gravitational Lensing. We discuss lensing by point masses, lensing by galaxies, and lensing by clusters and larger-scale structures in the Universe. The relevant theory is developed and applications to…
An extension of Riemmann's geometry into a direction dependent geometric structure is usually described by Finsler's geometry. Historically, this construction was motivated by the well-known Riemann's quartic length element example. Quite…
The aim of these notes is to explain main ideas of the theory of complements. Basically we will follow Shokurov's work alg-geom/9711024.
In this short note we clarify a link between anisotropic-scaling scenarios and Finsler spacetimes. Generalizing earlier analysis it is shown that the kinematics of propagating particles (in the sense of geometrical optics) can be described…
These notes were intended as support material for a minicourse on Anosov flows in the conference "Symplectic geometry and Anosov flows'' which took place in Heidelberg in July 2024 organized by Peter Albers, Jonathan Bowden and Agust\'in…
For non-reversible Finsler metrics of positive flag curvature on spheres and projective spaces we present results about the number and the length of closed geodesics and about their stability properties.
Here, a non-linear analysis method is applied rather than classical one to study projective Finsler geometry. More intuitively, by means of an inequality on Ricci-Finsler curvature, a projectively invariant pseudo-distance is introduced and…
In this survey article we gather classical as well as recent results on minimal geodesics of Riemannian or Finsler metrics, giving special attention to the two-dimensional case. Moreover, we present open problems together with some first…
This is a survey article on recent progress of comparison geometry and geometric analysis on Finsler manifolds of weighted Ricci curvature bounded below. Our purpose is two-fold: Give a concise and geometric review on the birth of weighted…
We extend the correspondence between Hessian and K\"ahler metrics and curvatures to Lagrange spaces.
In this work we study an anisotropic model of general relativity based on the framework of Finsler geometry. The observed anisotropy of the microwave background radiation is incorporated in the Finslerian structure of space-time. We also…
In this paper, we study a class of Finsler metrics called general (\alpha,\beta)-metrics, which are defined by a Riemannian metric and an 1-form. We construct some general (\alpha,\beta)-metrics with constant Ricci curvature.
This paper is based on the author's talk at the Grothendieck conference at Chapman university on 26-05-2022. It is not a survey of anabelian geometry but rather exposes some of the personal views and experiences of the author with the…
The Finslerian extension of the Euclidean metric is proposed and studied under rigorous conditions that the associated indicatrix is regular and convex. The relativistic pseudo-Euclidean metric is extended, too. The extensions show distinct…
In this article, we review some aspects of gravitational field and cosmology based on Finsler and Finsler-like generalized metric structures. The geometrical framework of these spaces allows further investigation of locally-anisotropic…
This is a survey of recent contributions to the area of special Kaehler geometry. It is based on lectures given at the 21st Winter School on Geometry and Physics held in Srni in January 2001.
These lecture notes are an expanded write-up of my short lecture series "Noncommutative Resolutions" given to the MSRI Graduate Student Workshop "Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry" during June 2012. The notes include five chapters, an…
We show that in dimension 2 every Finsler metric with at least 3-dimensional Lie algebra of projective vector fields is locally projectively equivalent to a Randers metric. We give a short list of such Finsler metrics which is complete up…
This is an updated version of the lectures notes for a course on condensed mathematics taught in the summer term 2019 at the University of Bonn. The material presented is joint work with Dustin Clausen. This is intended as a stable citable…
In this paper, we study Zermelo navigation on Riemannian manifolds and use that to solve a long standing problem in Finsler geometry. Namely, the complete classification of strongly convex Randers metrics of constant flag curvature.
