We generalize our previous theorem for FLRW spacetimes within the framework of generic metric gravity theories. In earlier work, we proved that, in the absence of matter fields, the field equations of any metric gravity theory constructed…

In this paper we study a class of Finsler metrics defined by a Riemannian metric and an 1-form. We classify those of projectively flat in dimension $n\geq3$ by a special class of deformations. The results show that the projective flatness…

Extending the results of an earlier article we give a complete description of the asymptotically flat, conformally non-flat, static vacuum data which admit non-trivial, asymptotically smooth conformal mappings onto other such data. These…

Given a conformal metric with finite total Q-curvature, we show that the assumptions on scalar curvature sensitively govern the Q-curvature integral. Additionally, we introduce a conformal mass for such manifolds. Using such mass, we…

Weyl geometry is a natural extension of conformal geometry with Weyl covariance mediated by a Weyl connection. We generalize the Fefferman-Graham (FG) ambient construction for conformal manifolds to a corresponding construction for Weyl…

Scale-invariant actions in arbitrary dimensions are investigated in curved space to clarify the relation between scale-, Weyl- and conformal invariance on the classical level. The global Weyl-group is gauged. Then the class of actions is…

In this work, the dual flatness, which is connected with Statistics and Information geometry, of general $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics (a new class of Finsler metrics) is studied. A nice characterization for such metrics to be dually flat under…

We show how the rigid conformal supersymmetries associated with a certain class of pseudo-Riemannian spin manifolds define a Lie superalgebra. The even part of this superalgebra contains conformal isometries and constant R-symmetries. The…

We develop the basics of a theory of almost isometries for spaces endowed with a quasi-metric. The case of non-reversible Finsler (more specifically, Randers) metrics is of particular interest, and it is studied in more detail. The main…

We investigate the possibility that the observed behavior of test particles outside galaxies, which is usually explained by assuming the existence of dark matter, is the result of the dynamical evolution of particles in a Weyl type…
