This paper presents a new type of surface models constructed on the basis of Finsler geometry. A Finsler metric is defined on the surface by using an underlying vector field, which is an in-plane tilt order. According to the orientation of…

Spinning equations of Finslerian gravity, the counterpart of Mathisson-Papapetrou Spinning equations of motion are obtained. Two approaches of Finslerian geometries are illustrated, and their corresponding spinning equations. The…

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 determine all Finsler metrics of Randers type for which the Riemannian part is a scalar multiple of the Euclidean metric, on an open subset of the Euclidean plane, whose geodesics are circles. We show that the Riemannian part must be of…

We present for the first time a Friedmann-like construction in the framework of an osculating Finsler-Randers-Sasaki geometry. In particular, we consider a vector field in the metric on a Lorentz tangent bundle, and thus the curvatures of…

Over the last seventy years, many Finsler-type geometric and modified gravity theories have been elaborated. They have been formulated in terms of different classes of Finsler generating functions, metric and nonmetric structures, nonlinear…

The main facts of the geometry of Finslerian 4-spinors are formulated. It is shown that twistors are a special case of Finslerian 4-spinors. The close connection between Finslerian 4-spinors and the geometry of a 16-dimensional vector…

A generalisation of Riemannian geometry is considered, based exclusively on the minimal assumptions that the line element $ds$ is a regular function of position and direction and that the distance of every point from itself is equal to…

We give an overview on the status and on the perspectives of Finsler gravity, beginning with a discussion of various motivations for considering a Finslerian modification of General Relativity. The subjects covered include Finslerian…

We investigate the bounce realization in the framework of generalized modified gravities arising from Finsler and Finsler-like geometries. In particular, the richer intrinsic geometrical structure is reflected in the appearance of extra…

Spinor gravity is a functional integral formulation of gravity based only on fundamental spinor fields. The vielbein and metric arise as composite objects. Due to the lack of local Lorentz-symmetry new invariants in the effective…

We argue that higher spin fields originate from Hamiltonian mechanics and play a role of gauge fields ensuring covariance of geometric observables such as length and volume with respect to canonical transformations in the same way as a…
