Recently it has been argued that autoparallels should be the correct description of free particle motion in spaces with torsion, and that such trajectories can be derived from variational principles if these are suitably adapted. The…

We present a simpler and more powerful version of the recently-discovered action principle for the motion of a spinless point particle in spacetimes with curvature and torsion. The surprising feature of the new principle is that an action…

To comply with recent developments of path integrals in spaces with curvature and torsion we find the correct variational principle for the classical trajectories. Although the action depends only on the length, the trajectories are {\em…

A system with anholonomic constraints where the trajectories of physical degrees of freedom are autoparallels on a manifold equipped with a general Cartan connection is discussed. A variational principle for the autoparallel trajectories is…

We prove that autoparallel curves associated with a torsion-free but not necessarily metric-compatible affine connection can be derived from an action principle. We explicitly construct the action functional and show by standard variational…

The bounded orbital motion of a massive spinless test particle in the background of a Kerr Brans-Dicke geometry is analysed in terms of worldlines that are auto-parallels of different metric compatible spacetime connections. In one case the…

A second order variational description of the autoparallel curves of some differential-geometric connection for the third order Mathisson's 'new mechanics' of a relativistic free spinning particle is suggested starting from general…

The variational principle and the corresponding differential equation for geodesic circles in two dimensional (pseudo)-Riemannian space are being discovered. The relationship with the physical notion of uniformly accelerated relativistic…

We study the problem of the existence of a local quantum scalar field theory in a general affine metric space that in the semiclassical approximation would lead to the autoparallel motion of wave packets, thus providing a deviation of the…

We proceed from the fact that the classical paths of irreducible massive spinning particle lie on a circular cylinder with the time-like axis in Minkowski space. Assuming that all the classical paths on the cylinder are gauge-equivalent, we…

In this paper, we analyze the variation of the gravitational action on a bounded region of spacetime whose boundary contains segments with various characters, including null. We develop a systematic approach to decompose the derivative of…

I explain the geometric basis for the recently-discovered nonholonomic mapping principle which permits deriving laws of nature in spacetimes with curvature and torsion from those in flat spacetime, thus replacing and extending Einstein's…

A variational principle is derived for two-dimensional incompressible rotational fluid flow with a free surface in a moving vessel when both the vessel and fluid motion are to be determined. The fluid is represented by a stream function and…

We draw attention to a novel type of geometric gauge invariance relating the autoparallel equations of motion in different Riemann-Cartan spacetimes with each other. The novelty lies in the fact that the equations of motion are invariant…

We study the variational principle and derivation of the field equations for different classes of teleparallel gravity theories, using both their metric-affine and covariant tetrad formulations. These theories have in common that in…

Two integrals along the world trajectory of its curvature and torsion are added to the standard action for the point-like spinless relativistic particle. Since here the three-dimensional space-time is considered at the beginning, the…

As a contribution to the ongoing discussion of trajectories of spinless particles in spaces with torsion we show that the geometry of such spaces can be induced by embedding their curves in a euclidean space without torsion. Technically…

We study the space-time invariances of the bosonic relativistic particle and bosonic relativistic string using general formulations obtained by incorporating the Hamiltonian constraints into the formalism. We point out that massless…

The lecture explains the geometric basis for the recently-discovered nonholonomic mapping principle which specifies certain laws of nature in spacetimes with curvature and torsion from those in flat spacetime, thus replacing and extending…

We use a recently developed action principle in spaces with curvature and torsion to derive the Euler equations of motion for a rigid body within the body-fixed coordinate system. This serves as an example that the particle trajectories in…
