We translate Penrose's singularity theorem to a Finsler spacetime. To that end, causal concepts in Lorentzian geometry are extended, including definitions and properties of focal points and trapped surfaces, with careful attention paid to…

In an ever-expanding spatially closed universe, the fractional change of the volume is the preeminent intrinsic time interval to describe evolution in General Relativity. The expansion of the universe serves as a subsidiary condition which…

The identification of a cosmic scale function with the volume integral of a spacelike hypersurface defines the cosmic evolution in General Relativity as a collective motion along a geodesic in the field space of the metric components,…

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…

We reinterpret special relativity, or more precisely its de Sitter deformation, in terms of 3d conformal geometry, as opposed to (3+1)d spacetime geometry. An inertial observer, usually described by a geodesic in spacetime, becomes instead…

We investigate spacetimes whose light cones could be anisotropic. We prove the equivalence of the structures: (a) Lorentz-Finsler manifold for which the mean Cartan torsion vanishes, (b) Lorentz-Finsler manifold for which the indicatrix…

There is a gap that has been left open since the formulation of general relativity in terms of Ashtekar's new variables namely the treatment of asymptotically flat field configurations that are general enough to be able to define the…

The pseudo-Finsleroid relativistic metric was constructed upon assuming that the involved vector field $b_i$ is time-like. In the present paper it is shown that the metric admits just the alternative counterpart in which the field is…

The class of accelerated reference frames has been studied, on the basis of Fermi-Walker coordinates; both in the cases of uniform and arbitrary accelerations. In the first case, explicit formulae for the transformation of coordinates have…

We improve an isoperimetric inequality due to Panos Papasoglu. We also generalize this inequality to the Finsler case by proving an optimal Finsler version of the Besicovitch's lemma which holds for any notion of Finsler volume.

We present the basic concepts of space and time, the Galilean and pseudo-Euclidean geometry. We use an elementary geometric framework of affine spaces and groups of affine transformations to illustrate the natural relationship between…

A solution of the sourceless Einstein's equation with an infinite value for the cosmological constant \Lambda is discussed by using Inonu-Wigner contractions of the de Sitter groups and spaces. When \Lambda --> infinity, spacetime becomes a…

It is shown that the isometry group of the de Sitter spacetime includes two different three-dimensional Abelian subgroups which transform between themselves through a discrete isometry corresponding to the time reversal in the…

We present a comprehensive study on $SIM(2)$ and $ISIM(2)$ groups, their representations and algebraic aspects. These groups, together with $HOM(2)$, arise as the symmetry groups of Very Special Relativity (VSR), where full Lorentz…

In the very special relativity (VSR) proposal by Cohen and Glashow, it was pointed out that invariance under HOM(2) is both necessary and sufficient to explain the null result of the Michelson-Morely experiment. It is the quantum field…

We present the theory of special relativity here through the lens of differential geometry. In particular, we explicitly avoid any reference to hypotheses of the form "The laws of physics take the same form in all inertial reference frames"…

Special Relativity is a cornerstone of modern physical theory. While a standard coordinate model is well-known and widely taught today, several alternative systems of axioms exist. This paper reports on the formalisation of one such system…

The specific astrophysical data collected during the last decade causes the need for the modification of the expression for the Einstein-Hilbert action, and several attempts sufficing this need are known. The modification suggested in this…

A common approach to metric-affine, local Poincar\'e, special-relativistic and Galilei spacetime geometry is developed. Starting from an affine composite bundle, we introduce local reference frames and their evolution along worldlines and…

This thesis studies general relativity (GR) using chiral formulations, which take advantage of the decomposition of the four-dimensional Lorentz group into self-dual and anti-self-dual sectors. Within this framework, GR can be expressed…
