Applications of cone structures to the anisotropic rheonomic Huygens' principle
A general framework for the description of classic wave propagation is introduced. This
relies on a cone structure C determined by an intrinsic space Σ of velocities of propagation …

Wind Finslerian structures: from Zermelo's navigation to the causality of spacetimes
The notion of wind Finslerian structure is developed; this is a generalization of Finsler
metrics where the indicatrices at the tangent spaces may not contain the zero vector. In the …

Penrose's singularity theorem in a Finsler spacetime
AB Aazami, MA Javaloyes - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Curvature computations in Finsler geometry using a distinguished class of anisotropic connections
MÁ Javaloyes - Mediterranean Journal of Mathematics, 2020 - Springer
We show how to compute tensor derivatives and curvature tensors using affine connections.
This allows for all computations to be obtained without using coordinate systems, in a way …

On the Cut Locus of Submanifolds of a Finsler Manifold
A Bhowmick, S Prasad - The Journal of Geometric Analysis, 2024 - Springer
In this article, we investigate the cut locus of closed (not necessarily compact) submanifolds
in a forward complete Finsler manifold. We explore the deformation and characterization of …

Anisotropic tensor calculus
MA Javaloyes - International Journal of Geometric Methods in …, 2019 - World Scientific
We introduce the anisotropic tensor calculus, which is a way of handling tensors that
depends on the direction remaining always in the same class. This means that the derivative …

Chern connection of a pseudo-Finsler metric as a family of affine connections
MA Javaloyes - arXiv preprint arXiv:1303.6263, 2013 - arxiv.org
We consider the Chern connection of a (conic) pseudo-Finsler manifold $(M, L) $ as a linear
connection $\nabla^ V $ on any open subset $\Omega\subset M $ associated to any vector …

Anisotropic conformal invariance of lightlike geodesics in pseudo-Finsler manifolds
MA Javaloyes, BL Soares - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper, we prove that lightlike geodesics of a pseudo-Finsler manifold and its focal
points are preserved up to reparametrization by anisotropic conformal changes, using the …
