Gravity as a Finslerian Metric Phenomenon

Abstract: We give a description of the effect of the gravitational field by using the geodesic equation of motion with respect to a first order Finslerian approximation of the Minkowski metric. This motivates linking the physical force of gravity to the non flat nature of space in the Finslerian setting and leads to an anisotropic version of the red shift formula. We solve the linearized Finslerian field equations proposed by S.F. Rutz (Gen.

“…Among the applications of (pseudo-)Finsler geometry, field-theoretical ones are the most numerous, e.g., [5], [7], [10], [16], [20], [22], [21], [28], [31]. But these applications typically require metrics to be of Lorentzian signature.…”

“…4 We can construct the Lagrangian of the interacting coupled two-electron system in the fields of each other from this Hamiltonian. Due to the two kinds of charges, this L differs 3 Later, Dirac [29] considered that the classical theories of electromagnetic field are approximate and are valid only if the accelerations of the electrons are small. He stated that the earlier problems of QED resulted not in quantization, rather in the incompleteness of the classical theory of electrons, and one must try to improve on it.…”
