We interpret magnetic billiards as Finsler ones and describe an analog of the string construction for magnetic billiards. Finsler billiards for which the law “angle of incidence equals angle of reflection” are described. We characterize the Finsler metrics in the plane whose geodesics are circles of a fixed radius. This is a magnetic analog of Hilbert’s fourth problem asking to describe the Fin...

We obtain some results in both, Lorentz and Finsler geometries, by using a correspondence between the conformal structure of standard stationary spacetimes on M = R × S and Randers metrics on S. In particular: (1) For stationary spacetimes: we give a simple characterization on when R×S is causally continuous or globally hyperbolic (including in the latter case, when S is a Cauchy hypersurface),...

In this essentially selfcontained paper first we establish an intrinsic version and present a coordinate-free deduction of the so-called Rapcsák equations, which provide, in the form of 2nd order PDE-s, necessary and sufficient conditions for a Finsler structure to be projectively related to a spray. From another viewpoint, the Rapcsák equations are the conditions for the Finsler-metrizability ...

A geometric procedure is elaborated for transforming (pseudo) Riemanian metrics and connections into canonical geometric objects (metric and nonlinear and linear connections) for effective Lagrange, or Finsler, geometries which, in their turn, can be equivalently represented as almost Kähler spaces. This allows us to formulate an approach to quantum gravity following standard methods of deforma...

Two special Finsler spaces have been introduced and investigated, namely R-recurrent Finsler space and concircularly recurrent Finsler space. The defining properties of these spaces are formulated in terms of the first curvature tensor of Cartan connection. The following three results constitute the main object of the present paper: (i) a concircularly flat Finsler manifold is necessarily of co...

In this paper, applying the concept of generalized A-valued norm on a right $H^*$-module and also the notion of ϕ-homomorphism of Finsler modules over $C^*$-algebras we first improve the definition of the Finsler module over $H^*$-algebra and then define ϕ-morphism of Finsler modules over $H^*$-algebras. Finally we present some results concerning these new ones.

Abstract Finsler geometry is a natural arena to investigate the physics of spacetimes with local Lorentz violation. The directional dependence metric provides way encode Lorentz-violating effects into geometric structure spacetime. Here, classical field theory proposed in special geometry, so-called Randers-Finsler spacetime, where violation produced by background vector field. By promoting dif...

We prove Hessian comparison theorems, Laplacian comparison theorems and volume comparison theorems of Finsler manifolds under various curvature conditions. As applications, we derive Mckean type theorems for the first eigenvalue of Finsler manifolds, as well as generalize a result on fundamental group due to Milnor to Finsler manifolds.

Torsions, curvatures, structure equations and Bianchi identities for locally anisotropic superspaces (containing as particular cases different supersymmetric extensions and prolongations of Riemann, Finsler, Lagrange and Kaluza–Klein spaces) are investigated.

In this paper, we introduce and investigate a general transformation or change of Finsler metrics, which is referred to as a generalized β-conformal change: L(x, y) −→ L(x, y) = f(eL(x, y), β(x, y)). This transformation combines both β-change and conformal change in a general setting. The change, under this transformation, of the fundamental Finsler connections, together with their associated g...
