Curve flows and solitonic hierarchies generated by Einstein metrics. (English)
[J] Acta Appl. Math. 110, No. 1, 73-107 (2010). ISSN 0167-8019; ISSN 1572-9036
Using a pseudo-Riemannian metric and non-linear connections on a non-integrable distribution on

a manifold, some bi-Hamiltonian structures and mKdV hierarchies of solitonic equations are
studied. Using a non-holonomical splitting, couples of generalized sine-Gordon equations are
obtained. Following the geometric construction in the case of the Levi-Civita connection, one get a
``nonholonomic mixing'' of solitonic interaction. A generous discussion for further research and
developments, as well as a technical Appendix are finally given.

Summary: A new framework for perturbative quantum gravity is proposed following the geometry
of non-holonomic distributions on (pseudo)Riemannian manifolds. There are considered such
distributions and adapted connections, also completely defined by a metric structure, when
gravitational models with infinite many couplings reduce to two-loop renormalizable effective
actions. We use a key result from our partner work arXiv:0902.0911 from 2009 that the classical
Einstein gravity theory can be reformulated equivalently as a non-holonomic gauge model in the
bundle of affine/de Sitter frames on pseudo-Riemannian space-time. It is proven that (for a class
of non-holonomic constraints and splitting of the Levi-Civita connection into a ``renormalizable"
distinguished connection, on a base background manifold, and a gauge-like distortion tensor, in
total space) a non-holonomic differential renormalization procedure for quantum gravitational
fields can be elaborated. Calculation labor is reduced to one- and two-loop levels and
renormalization group equations for non-holonomic configurations.

Nonholonomic black ring and solitonic solutions in Finsler and extra dimension gravity

[J] Int. J. Theor. Phys. 49, No. 8, 1788-1804 (2010). ISSN 0020-7748; ISSN 1572-9575
Summary: We study stationary configurations mimicking nonholonomic locally anisotropic black

rings (for instance, with ellipsoidal polarizations and/or imbedded into solitonic backgrounds) in
three/six dimensional pseudo-Finsler/Riemannian spacetimes. In the asymptotically flat limit, for
holonomic configurations, a subclass of such spacetimes contains the set of five dimensional black
ring solutions with regular rotating event horizon. For corresponding parameterizations, the
metrics and connections define Finsler-Einstein geometries modeled on tangent bundles, or on
nonholonomic (pseudo) Riemannian manifolds. In general, there are vacuum nonholonomic
gravitational configurations which can not be generated in the limit of zero cosmological constant.

[J] J. Geom. Phys. 60, No. 10, 1289-1305 (2010). ISSN 0393-0440
Summary: A geometric procedure is elaborated for transforming (pseudo) Riemannian metrics and
connections into canonical geometric objects (metric and nonlinear and linear connections) for
effective Lagrange, or Finsler, geometries which, in turn, can be equivalently represented as
almost Kähler spaces. This allows us to formulate an approach to quantum gravity following
standard methods of deformation quantization. Such constructions are performed not on tangent
bundles, as in usual Finsler geometry, but on spacetimes enabled with nonholonomic distributions
defining $2+2$ splitting with associate nonlinear connection structure. We also show how the
Einstein equations can be written in terms of Lagrange-Finsler variables and corresponding almost
symplectic structures and encoded into the zero-degree cohomology coefficient for a quantum
model of Einstein manifolds.

Nonholonomic distributions and gauge models of Einstein gravity. (English)
Pseudo-Riemannian metric and a compatible linear connection are studied in the presence of $2 +
2$ nonholonomic distribution preserved by the parallel transports of the connection. The author
describes the geometric structures on a 4-manifold giving this triple and reformulates the Einstein
equations in nonholonomic coordinates (special tetrad formalism). It is shown how the Einstein
gravity theory can be redefined equivalently as certain gauge models on nonholonomic affine or
de Sitter frame bundles.

locally anisotropic stationary ones with spherical/rotoid symmetry. The conditions are derived
when black hole configurations can be extracted from two classes of exact solutions depending on
noncommutative parameters. The first class of metrics is defined by nonholonomic deformations of
the gravitational vacuum by noncommutative geometry. The second class of such solutions is
induced by noncommutative matter fields and/or effective polarizations of cosmological constants.

On general solutions for field equations in Einstein and higher dimension gravity.
(English)
Summary: We prove that the Einstein equations can be solved in a very general form for arbitrary
spacetime dimensions and various types of vacuum and non-vacuum cases following a geometric
method of anholonomic frame deformations for constructing exact solutions in gravity. The main
idea of this method is to introduce on (pseudo) Riemannian manifolds an alternative (to the
Levi-Civita connection) metric compatible linear connection which is also completely defined by the
same metric structure. Such a canonically distinguished connection is with nontrivial torsion which
is induced by some nonholonomy frame coefficients and generic off-diagonal terms of metrics. It is
possible to define certain classes of adapted frames of reference when the Einstein equations for
such an alternative connection transform into a system of partial differential equations which can
be integrated in very general forms. Imposing nonholonomic constraints on generalized metrics
and connections and adapted frames (selecting Levi-Civita configurations), we generate exact
solutions in Einstein gravity and extra dimension generalizations.

New classes of off-diagonal cosmological solutions in Einstein gravity. (English)
Summary: In this work, we apply the anholonomic deformation method for constructing new
classes of anisotropic cosmological solutions in Einstein gravity and/or generalizations with
nonholonomic variables. There are analyzed four types of, in general, inhomogeneous metrics,
defined with respect to anholonomic frames and their main geometric properties. Such spacetimes
contain as particular cases certain conformal and/or frame transforms of the well known
Friedman-Robertson-Walker, Bianchi, Kasner and Gödel universes and define a great variety of
cosmological models with generic off-diagonal metrics, local anisotropy and inhomogeneity. It is
shown that certain nonholonomic gravitational configurations may mimic de Sitter like inflation

scenarios and different anisotropic modifications without satisfying any classical false-vacuum
equation of state. Finally, we speculate on perspectives when such off-diagonal solutions can be
related to dark energy and dark matter problems in modern cosmology.

Fedosov quantization of Lagrange-Finsler and Hamilton-Cartan spaces and Einstein

[J] J. Math. Phys. 50, No. 1, Paper No. 013510, 23 p. (2009). ISSN 0022-2488
Summary: We provide a method of converting Lagrange and Finsler spaces and their Legendre
transforms to Hamilton and Cartan spaces into almost Kähler structures on tangent and cotangent
bundles. In particular cases, the Hamilton spaces contain nonholonomic lifts of (pseudo)
Riemannian / Einstein metrics on effective phase spaces. This allows us to define the
corresponding Fedosov operators and develop deformation quantization schemes for nonlinear
mechanical and gravity models on Lagrange- and Hamilton-Fedosov manifolds. Editorial remark:

Branes and quantization for an A-model complexification of Einstein gravity in almost
Kähler variables. (English)
Author's abstract: The general relativity theory is redefined equivalently in almost Kähler
variables: symplectic form and canonical symplectic connection (distorted from the Levi-Civita
connection by a tensor constructed only from metric coefficients and their derivatives). The
fundamental geometric and physical objects are uniquely determined in metric compatible form by
a (pseudo) Riemannian metric on a manifold enabled with a necessary type nonholonomic 2+2
distribution. Such nonholonomic symplectic variables allow us to formulate the problem of
quantizing Einstein gravity in terms of the A-model complexification of almost complex structures
on spacetime manifold, generalizing the Gukov-Witten method [see {\it S. Gukov, E. Witten},
Branes and Quantization, arXiv:0809.0305]. Quantizing the complexified model, we derive a
Hilbert space as a space of strings with two A-branes which for the Einstein gravity theory are
nonholonomic because of induced nonlinear connection structures. Finally, we speculate on
relation of such a method of quantization to curve flows and solitonic hierarchies defined by
Einstein metrics on (pseudo) Riemannian spacetimes.

Einstein gravity in almost Kähler variables and stability of gravity with nonholonomic
distributions and nonsymmetric metrics. (English)
Summary: We argue that the Einstein gravity theory can be reformulated in almost Kähler
(nonsymmetric) variables with effective symplectic form and compatible linear connection uniquely
defined by a (pseudo) Riemannian metric. A class of nonsymmetric theories of gravitation on
manifolds enabled with nonholonomic distributions is considered. We prove that, for certain types
of nonholonomic constraints, there are modelled effective Lagrangians which do not develop
instabilities. It is also elaborated a linearization formalism for anholonomic noncommutative
gravity theories models and analyzed the stability of stationary ellipsoidal solutions defining some
nonholonomic and/or nonsymmetric deformations of the Schwarzschild metric. We show how to
construct nonholonomic distributions which remove instabilities in nonsymmetric gravity theories.
It is concluded that instabilities do not consist a general feature of theories of gravity with
nonsymmetric metrics but a particular property of some models and/or unconstrained solutions.

The entropy of Lagrange-Finsler spaces and Ricci flows. (English)
[J] Rep. Math. Phys. 63, No. 1, 95-110 (2009). ISSN 0034-4877
The present paper is a possible extension of Perelman's approach to Ricci flows in order to derive
the evolution equations for Lagrange and Finsler geometries. Moreover, in the final part a
statistical analogue of regular mechanical systems is discussed. The author is following quite
closely the classical theory using for the extension the Levi-Civita connection of the Sasaki metric
induces by a Lagrange or Finsler structure on the tangent space. The concrete evolution equations
are computed in the paper. This seems to be one of the first attempts to apply the celebrated
theory of Ricci flows to more general manifolds than Riemannian ones. Even though the paper in
the present form contains merely the setting of such an attempt, one can expect further
developments of this approach that will clarify the topological properties of Lagrange and
Finslerian structures.

[J] J. Geom. Phys. 59, No. 1, 79-103 (2009). ISSN 0393-0440
Summary: Methods in Riemann-Finsler geometry are applied to investigate bi-Hamiltonian

structures and related mKdV hierarchies of soliton equations derived geometrically from regular
Lagrangians and flows of non-stretching curves in tangent bundles. The total space geometry and
nonholonomic flows of curves are defined by Lagrangian semisprays inducing canonical nonlinear
connections ($N$-connections), Sasaki type metrics and linear connections. The simplest examples
of such geometries are given by tangent bundles on Riemannian symmetric spaces $G/SO(n)$
provided with an $N$-connection structure and an adapted metric, for which we elaborate a
complete classification, and by generalized Lagrange spaces with constant Hessian. \par In this
approach, bi-Hamiltonian structures are derived for geometric mechanical models and (pseudo)
Riemannian metrics in gravity. The results yield horizontal/vertical pairs of vector sine-Gordon
equations and vector mKdV equations, with the corresponding geometric curve flows in the
hierarchies described in an explicit form by nonholonomic wave maps and mKdV analogs of
nonholonomic Schrödinger maps on a tangent bundle.

Summary: We formulate an approach to the geometry of Riemann-Cartan spaces provided with

nonholonomic distributions defined by generic off-diagonal and nonsymmetric metrics inducing
effective nonlinear and affine connections. Such geometries can be modelled by moving
nonholonomic frames on (pseudo) Riemannian manifolds and describe various types of
nonholonomic Einstein, Eisenhart-Moffat and Finsler-Lagrange spaces with connections compatible
to a general nonsymmetric metric structure. Elaborating a metrization procedure for arbitrary
distinguished connections, we define the class of distinguished linear connections which are
compatible with the nonlinear connection and general nonsymmetric metric structures. The
nonsymmetric gravity theory is formulated in terms of metric compatible connections. Finally,
there are constructed such nonholonomic deformations of geometric structures when the Einstein
and/or Lagrange-Finsler manifolds are transformed equivalently into spaces with generic local
anisotropy induced by nonsymmetric metrics and generalized connections. We speculate on
possible applications of such geometric methods in Einstein and generalized theories of gravity,
analogous gravity and geometric mechanics.

In this survey paper the author presents the current status of Finsler-Lagrange geometry and
generalizations. The goal is to aid non-experts on Finsler spaces, but physicists and geometers
well informed of general relativity and particle theories, to understand the crucial importance of
such geometric methods for applications in modern physics. He also proposes a canonical scheme
when geometrical objects on a (pseudo) Riemannian space are non-holonomically deformed into
generalized Lagrange, or Finsler, configurations on the same manifold. Such canonical transforms
are defined by the coefficients of a prime metric and generated target spaces as Lagrange
structures, their models of almost Hermitian/Kähler, or non-holonomic Riemann spaces. Finally,
the author considers some classes of exact solutions in string and Einstein gravity modeling
Lagrange-Finsler structures with solitonic pp-waves and speculates on their physical meaning.

Parametric nonholonomic frame transforms and exact solutions in gravity. (English)
10 din 30 23.02.2011 17:52

A geometric approach to constructing and classifying exact solutions in vacuum Einstein gravity is
developed and higher-dimensional theories of gravity by superposing parametric and anholonomic
frame transformations. After outlining and comparing both the parametric and anholonomic frame
methods of constructing exact solutions, a unified formalism for both formalisms is elaborated,
where two alternative constructions are considered: either a class of solutions generated by the
parametric method is deformed nonholonomically to the other ones and, inversely, the parametric
transform is applied to nonholonomic Einstein space-times. Finally, there are presented explicit
examples of how superpositions of both transformations can be applied in order to generate new
classes of solutions and how ``physically valuable configurations" can be selected. Some
constructions are performed for 5D space-times with torsion, but the bulk of them for 4D Einstein
space-times with generic off diagonal metrics.

The book contains a collection of works on Riemann-Cartan and metric-affine manifolds. Nonlinear
connection structures, generalized Finsler-Lagrange and Cartan-Hamilton geometries and Clifford
structures are the main emphasis. Modelling locally anisotropic and/or noncommutative structures
in gravity and geometric mechanics are explicitely discussed. Einstein gravity theories and extra
dimension gravity, string models of gravity, black holes, anholonomic frame methods are examples
for the applications of the developed mathematical frame work. The overwhelming manifold of
results will appeal to people interested in noncommutative and quantum developments of Finsler-
Lagrange-Hamilton geometrics and nonholonomic structures in gravity and string theory.

Clifford-Finsler algebroids and nonholonomic Einstein-Dirac structures. (English)
Summary: We propose a new framework for constructing geometric and physical models on a
nonholonomic manifold provided both with Clifford-Lie algebroid symmetry and nonlinear
connection structure. Explicit parametrizations of generic off-diagonal metrics and linear and
nonlinear connections define different types of Finsler, Lagrange, and/or Riemann-Cartan spaces.
A generalization to spinor fields and Dirac operators on nonholonomic manifolds motivates the
theory of Clifford algebroids defined as Clifford bundles, in general, enabled with nonintegrable
distributions defining the nonlinear connection. In this work, we elaborate the algebroid spinor
differential geometry and formulate the (scalar, Proca, graviton, spinor, and gauge) field equations
on Lie algebroids. The paper communicates new developments in geometrical formulation of
physical theories and this approach is grounded on a number of previous examples when exact
solutions with generic off-diagonal metrics and generalized symmetries in modern gravity define
nonholonomic spacetime manifolds with uncompactified extra dimensions.

Exact solutions with noncommutative symmetries in Einstein and gauge gravity. (English)
Summary: We present new classes of exact solutions with noncommutative symmetries

constructed in vacuum Einstein gravity (in general, with nonzero cosmological constant),
five-dimensional (5D) gravity and (anti) de Sitter gauge gravity. Such solutions are generated by
anholonomic frame transforms and parametrized by generic off-diagonal metrics. For certain
particular cases, the new classes of metrics have explicit limits with Killing symmetries but, in
general, they may be characterized by certain anholonomic noncommutative matrix geometries.
We argue that different classes of noncommutative symmetries can be induced by exact solutions
of the field equations in commutative gravity modeled by a corresponding moving real and
complex frame geometry. We analyze two classes of black ellipsoid solutions (in the vacuum case
and with cosmological constant) in four-dimensional gravity and construct the analytic extensions
of metrics for certain classes of associated frames with complex valued coefficients. The third class
of solutions describes 5D wormholes which can be extended to complex metrics in complex gravity
models defined by noncommutative geometric structures. The anholonomic noncommutative
symmetries of such objects are analyzed. We also present a descriptive account how the Einstein
gravity can be related to gauge models of gravity and their noncommutative extensions and
discuss such constructions in relation to the Seiberg--Witten map for the gauge gravity. Finally,
we consider a formalism of vielbeins deformations subjected to noncommutative symmetries in
order to generate solutions for noncommutative gravity models with Moyal (star) product.

Summary: We outline a unified approach to geometrization of Lagrange mechanics, Finsler

geometry and geometric methods of constructing exact solutions with generic off-diagonal terms
and nonholonomic variables in gravity theories. Such geometries with induced almost symplectic
structure are modeled on nonholonomic manifolds provided with nonintegrable distributions
defining nonlinear connections. We introduce the concept of Lagrange-Fedosov spaces and
Fedosov nonholonomic manifolds provided with almost symplectic connections adapted to the
nonlinear connection structure. We investigate the main properties of generalized Fedosov
nonholonomic manifolds and analyze exact solutions defining almost symplectic Einstein spaces.

Summary: We analyze the horizon and geodesic structure of a class of 4D off-diagonal metrics
with deformed spherical symmetries, which are exact solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations
with anholonomic variables. The maximal analytic extension of the ellipsoid type metrics are
constructed and the Penrose diagrams are analyzed with respect to the adapted frames. We prove
that for small deformations (small eccentricities) there are such metrics that the geodesic
behaviour is similar to the Schwarzschild one. We conclude that some vacuum static and
stationary ellipsoid configurations may describe black ellipsoid objects.

gravity theory on na-backgrounds provided with a set of na-map invariant conditions and local
conservation laws. There are illustrated some examples when vacuum Einstein fields are
generated by Finsler like metrics and chains of na-maps.

Summary: In this article we construct and analyze new classes of wormhole and flux tubelike
solutions for the 5D vacuum Einstein equations. These 5D solutions possess generic local
anisotropy which gives rise to a gravitational running or scaling of the Kaluza-Klein `èlectric"
and "magnetic" charges of these solutions. It is also shown that it is possible to self-consistently
construct these anisotropic solutions with various rotational 3D hypersurface geometries (i.e.,
ellipsoidal, cylindrical, bipolar and toroidal). The local anisotropy of these solutions is handled
using the technique of anholonomic frames with their associated nonlinear connection structures

frames the metrics are diagonalized, in contrast to holonomic coordinate frames where the metrics
would have off-diagonal components. In the local isotropic limit these solutions are shown to be
equivalent to spherically symmetric 5D wormhole and flux tube solutions.

Warped, anisotropic wormhole/soliton configurations in vacuum 5D gravity. (English)
[J] Classical Quantum Gravity 19, No.11, 2793-2811 (2002). ISSN 0264-9381; ISSN 1361-6382
Summary: We apply the anholonomic frames method developed in previous work to construct and
study anisotropic vacuum field configurations in 5D gravity. Starting with an off-diagonal 5D
metric, parametrized in terms of several ansatz functions, we show that using anholonomic frames
greatly simplifies the resulting Einstein field equations. These simplified equations contain an
interesting freedom in that one can choose one of the ansatz functions and then determine the
remaining ansatz functions in terms of this choice. As examples we take one of the ansatz
functions to be a solitonic solution of either the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation or the
sine-Gordon equation. There are several interesting physical consequences of these solutions.
First, a certain subclass of the solutions discussed in this paper has an exponential warp factor
similar to that of the Randall-Sundrum model. However, the warp factor depends on more than
just the fifth coordinate. In addition the warp factor arises from anisotropic vacuum solutions
rather than from any explicit matter. Second, the solitonic character of these solutions might allow
them to be interpreted either as gravitational models for particles (i.e. analogous to the 't Hooft-
Polyakov monopole, but in the context of gravity), or as nonlinear, anisotropic gravitational
waves.

This paper is devoted to the study of warped solitonic deformations and propagation of black holes

equations, discuss the sine-Gordon soliton, gravitational soliton, 4D Schwarzschild solution
embedded in the 5D spacetime, solitonic black hole solutions which move in the bulk 5D spacetime
and show that these solitonic solutions may either violate or preserve local Lorentz invariance,
and these solutions may point to Lorentz violation effects in Yang-Mills and electrodynamic
theories induced from 5D vacuum gravity.

Summary: By using anholonomic frames in (pseudo)-Riemannian spaces we define anisotropic

extensions of Euclidean Taub-NUT spaces. With respect to coordinate frames such spaces are
described by off-diagonal metrics which could be diagonalized by corresponding anholonomic
transforms. We define the conditions when the 5D vacuum Einstein equations have as solutions
anisotropic Taub-NUT spaces. The generalized Killing equations for the configuration space of
anisotropically spinning particles (anisotropic spinning space) are analyzed. Simple solutions of the
homogeneous part of these equations are expressed in terms of some anisotropically modified
Killing-Yano tensors. The general results are applied to the case of the four-dimensional locally
anisotropic Taub-NUT manifold with Euclidean signature. We emphasize that all constructions are
for (pseudo)-Riemannian spaces defined by vacuum solutions, with generic anisotropy, of 5D
Einstein equations, the solutions being generated by applying the moving frame method.

Locally anisotropic kinetic processes and thermodynamics in curved spaces. (English)
[J] Ann. Phys. 290, No. 2, 83-123 (2001). ISSN 0003-4916
Summary: The kinetic theory is formulated with respect to anholonomic frames of reference on
curved spacetimes. By using the concept of nonlinear connection we develop an approach to
modelling locally anisotropic kinetic processes and, in corresponding limits, the relativistic
nonequilibrium thermodynamics with local anisotropy. This leads to a unified formulation of the
kinetic equations on (pseudo) Riemannian spaces and in various higher dimensional models of
Kaluza-Klein type and/or generalized Lagrange and Finsler spaces. The transition rate considered
for the locally anisotropic transport equations is related to the differential cross section and
spacetime parameters of anisotropy. The equations of states for pressure and energy in locally
anisotropic thermodynamics are derived. The obtained general expressions for heat conductivity,
shear, and volume viscosity coefficients are applied to determine the transport coefficients of
cosmic fluids in spacetimes with generic local anisotropy. We emphasize that such local anisotropic
structures are induced also in general relativity if we are modelling physical processes with respect
to frames with mixed sets of holonomic and anholonomic basis vectors which naturally admits an
associated nonlinear connection structure.

Dirac spinor waves and solitons in anisotropic Taub-NUT spaces. (English)
Summary: We apply a new general method of anholonomic frames with associated nonlinear
connection structure to construct new classes of exact solutions of Einstein-Dirac equations in
five-dimensional (5D) gravity. Such solutions are parametrized by off-diagonal metrics in
coordinate (holonomic) bases or equivalently, by diagonal metrics given with respect to some
anholonomic frames (pentads or fuenfbeins satisfying corresponding constraint relations). We
consider two possibilities of generalization of the Taub-NUT metric in order to obtain vacuum
solutions of 5D Einstein equations with effective renormalization of constants (by higher
dimension anholonomic gravitational interactions) having distinguished anisotropies on an angular
parameter or on an extra-dimensional coordinate. The constructions are extended to solutions
describing self-consistent propagations of 3D Dirac wave packets in 5D anisotropic Taub-NUT
spacetimes. We show that such anisotropic configurations of spinor matter can induce gravitational
3D solitons which are solutions of Kadomtsev-Petviashvili or sine-Gordon equations.

Locally anisotropic wormholes and flux tubes in 5D gravity. (English)

Summary: In this letter we examine a class of wormhole and flux tube like solutions to 5D vacuum
Einstein equations. These solutions possess generic local anisotropy, and their local isotropic limit
is shown to be conformally equivalent to the spherically symmetric 5D solutions by {\it V.
Dzhunushaliev} and {\it D. Singleton} [Phys. Rev. D (3) 59064018, No. 6, 064018 (1999)]. The
anisotropic solutions investigated here have two physically distinct signatures: first, they can give
rise to angular-dependent, anisotropic `èlectromagnetic'' interactions. Second, they can result in
a gravitational running of the `èlectric'' and ``magnetic'' charges of the solutions. This
gravitational running of the electromagnetic charges is linear rather than logarithmic, and could
thus serve as an indirect signal for the presence of higher dimensions. The local anisotropy of
these solutions is modeled using the technique of anholonomic frames with respect to which the
metrics are diagonalized. If holonomic coordinate frames were used then such metrics would have
off-diagonal components.

Summary: We formulate the theory of field interactions with higher order anisotropy. The
concepts of higher order anisotropic space and locally anisotropic space (in brief, ha-space and
la-space) are introduced as general ones for various types of higher order extensions of Lagrange
and Finsler geometry and higher dimension (Kaluza-Klein type) spaces. The spinors on ha-spaces
are defined in the framework of the geometry of Clifford bundles provided with compatible
nonlinear and distinguished connections and metric structures ($d$-connection and $d$-metric).
The spinor differential geometry of ha-spaces is constructed. There are discussed some related
issues connected with the physical aspects of higher order anisotropic interactions for
gravitational, gauge, spinor, Dirac spinor and Proca fields. Motion equations in higher order
generalizations of Finsler spaces, of the mentioned type of fields, are defined by using bundles of
linear and affine frames locally adapted to the nonlinear connection structure.

Summary: The work proposes a general background of the theory of field interactions and strings
in spaces with higher order anisotropy. Our approach proceeds by developing the concept of higher
order anisotropic superspace which unifies the logical and mathematical aspects of modern
Kaluza-Klein theories and generalized Lagrange and Finsler geometry and leads to modelling of
physical processes on higher order fiber bundles provided with nonlinear and distinguished
connections and metric structures. The view adopted here is that a general field theory should
incorporate all possible anisotropic and stochastic manifestations of classical and quantum
interactions and, in consequence, a corresponding modification of basic principles and
mathematical methods in formulation of physical theories.\par The presentation is divided into two
parts. The first five sections cover the higher order anisotropic superspaces. We focus on the
geometry distinguished by non-linear connection vector superbundles, consider different
supersymmetric extensions of Finsler and Lagrange spaces and analyze the structure of basic
geometric objects on such superspaces. The remaining five sections are devoted to the theory of
higher order anisotropic superstrings. In the framework of supersymmetric nonlinear sigma
models in Finsler extended backgrounds we prove that the low-energy dynamics of such strings
contains equations of motion for locally anisotropic field interactions. Our work is to be compared
with important previous variants of extensions of Finsler geometry and gravity.

The aim of the present paper is the formulation of the theory of the inhomogeneous and locally
anisotropic isofield interactions. This contains a synthesis of Santilli isotheory and the approach on
modeling locally anisotropic geometries and physical models on bundle spaces provided with
nonlinear connection and distinguished connection and metric structures. The isotopic variants of
generalized Lagrange and Finsler geometry are analyzed. Basic geometric constructions such as
nonlinear isoconnections in vector isobundles, the isotopic curvatures and torsions of distinguished
isoconnections and their structure equations and invariant values are defined. A model of locally
anisotropic and inhomogeneous gravitational isotheory is constructed. \par The paper contains the
following headings. Isotopies of the unit and isospaces, Isocontinuity and isotopology,
Isodifferential and isointegral calculus, Santilli's isoriemannian isospaces, Lie-Santilli isoalgebras

The geometrical basis of the theory of diffusion processes on spaces with local anisotropy is
considered. Such spaces are modeled as vector bundles on space-times provided with nonlinear
and distinguished connections ($N$- and $d$-connections, respectively) and metric structures.
\par Applying those considerations to tangent bundles, the author formulates the theory of
stochastic differential equations on generalized Lagrange spaces, which contain as particular cases
Lagrange and Finsler spaces. The author also gives some remarks on possible extensions of the

As is well-known, the twistor equation on a non-conformally flat spacetime $V$ is not compatible.
The authors idea in the present paper is to ``transport'' the twistor equation from the Minkowski
space to $V$ by means of a nearly geodesic map in the sense of {\it N. S. Sinyukov} [`Geodesic
mappings of Riemannian spaces' (Nauka, Moscow) (1979; Zbl 0637.53020)] (or by a chain of such
maps). In this way they obtain a spinor equation on $V$ whose solutions may be considered as
twistors on $V$. The authors also give conditions under which the transformed twistor structure
generates to a vacuum Einstein field.

Let $\xi= (E,p,M)$ be a vector bundle over a smooth manifold $M$. The kernel of the Jacobi map
$Dp:TE\to TM$ provides the vertical distribution $u\to V_uE$, $u\in E$, on $E $. A distribution
$u\to H_uE$ such that $(*)$ $T_u E=H_uE \oplus V_uE$ is called a nonlinear connection on $E$.
The splitting $(*)$ produces a decomposition of all geometrical objects (tensors, connections etc.)
on $E$ and their components are generically called $d$-objects [see {\it R. Miron} and {\it M.
Anastasiei}, The geometry of Lagrange spaces: theory and applications (Fundamental Theories of
Physics 59, Kluwer, Dordrecht) (1994; Zbl 0831.53001)]. A metrical structure in the vertical
bundle is called a $d$-metric. This can be extended to a metrical structure $G$ on $E$ and there
exists a linear connection $D$ on $E$ which is metrical and preserves the splitting $(*)$.\par In
this paper a spinor formalism for $\xi$ endowed with a nonlinear connection, the metric $G$ and
the connection $D$ is proposed. Clifford $d$-algebras, a twisted Clifford $d$-group, and the
groups Pin and Spin are introduced. The spinor structure is defined in terms of principal bundles. A
complex version is provided. The periodicity phenomena are analyzed.

Let $L = (M, {\cal L})$ be a Lagrange space (i.e. such a generalization of the Finsler space, where
the Lagrangian ${\cal L} : TM \to \bbfR$) ${\cal L} : (x,y) \mapsto {\cal L} (x,y)$ is not
necessarily homogeneous of degree 2 in $y$. The authors call a curve $\gamma (x (t), y(t))
\subset L$ distinguished autoparallel (da-parallel) if $D_Y Y = \rho(t) Y$, where $Y(t) = (\dot x(t),
\dot y(t))$ and $D$ is the canonical distinguished connection. A 2-dimensional distribution $E_2
(\gamma)$ along $\gamma$ is called coplanar if the parallel translated of any vector $X_0 \in
E_2 (\gamma (t_0))$ is contained in $E_2(\gamma)$. $\gamma$ is called distinguished nearly
autoparallel (dna-parallel) if there exists a coplanar $E_2(\gamma)$ containing $Y(t)$. In the
paper 1-1 mappings $L \to \underline {L}$ are studied and classified which take every da-parallel
curve of $L$ into a dna-parallel of $\underline{L}$. Also physical applications are considered.

In the framework of the theory of linear connections in vector bundles (with semisimple structural
groups) on generalized Lagrange spaces, a geometrical approach to interactions of Yang-Mills
fields on spaces with local anisotropy is formulated. The geometrical formalism is extended in a
manner including theories with nonsemisimple groups which permit a unique fiber bundle
treatment for both locally anisotropic Yang-Mills and gravitational interactions.\par One of the
most important results of the paper is formulated as a theorem stating that almost Hermitian
Lagrange gravity -- described in {\it R. Miron} and {\it M. Anastasiei} [The geometry of Lagrange
spaces: theory and applications. Fundamental Theories of Physics, 59, Dordrecht: Kluwer
Academic Publishers (1994; Zbl 0831.53001)], is equivalent to a gaugelike theory in the bundle of
affine adapted frames on generalized Lagrange spaces.

Let $M_{\underline m}$ be an $n$-dimensional manifold and $TM_{\underline m}$ be its

tangent bundle with local coordinates $x_{\underline m}= xî_{\underline m}$ and
$(xî_{\underline m},y^j_{\underline m})$, $i,j=1,2,\dots,n$, respectively. A Lagrangian on
$M_{\underline m}$ is a differentiable function $L_{\underline m}:TM_{\underline m}\to R$,
given locally by $L_{\underline m}:(x,y)\to L_{\underline m}(x,y)$ such that the tensorial
distinguished field $g_{\underline m ij}(x,y){1\over 2}(\partial^2L_{\underline m}/\partial
yî\partial y^j)$ is nondegenerate. A pair $(M_{\underline m},L_{\underline m})$, simply
denoted by $L$, is called a Lagrangian space of dimension $n$ with $L_{\underline m}$ and
$g_{\underline m ij}$ as the fundamental function and metric tensor, respectively. A Finsler
space is a particular case of a Lagrange space $(M_{\underline m},L_{\underline m})$ when
$L_{\underline m}= L^2_{\underline m}$ which is the Finsler metric on $M_{\underline
m}$.\par Let $L, L_{\underline 1},L_{\underline 2},\dots,L_{\underline n}$, where $\underline
k,\underline l,\underline m,\underline n=1,2,3,\dots$ (underlined subscripts indicate different
spaces) be Lagrange spaces. Consider $1-1$ local mappings $f:L_{\underline m}\to L_{\underline
k}$, $m\ne k$ with deformation of nonlinear connections in general. A curve
$\gamma_{\underline m}$ on $L$ is a function $\gamma_{\underline m}:R\to L$, represented
parametrically as $\gamma_{\underline m}= (x(\eta),y(\eta))$ with parameter $\eta$,
$(\eta_1\le \eta\le\eta_2)$, and the tangent vector to the curve $\gamma_{\underline m}$ by
$Y(\eta)= ({\partial x\over\partial\eta},{\partial y\over\partial\eta})\in TL_{\underline m}$.
When there is defined a two-dimensional vector space $E_2\subset TL_{\underline m}(x)$ at
every point $x\in\gamma_{\underline m}$, we say that the curve $\gamma_{\underline m}$ is
provided with two-dimensional distribution $E_2$. A distribution $E_2(\gamma_{\underline m})$
is said to be coplanar along $\gamma_{\underline m}$ if every vector $X_{m(0)}=
X_m(x_0,y_0)\in E_2(\gamma_{\underline m})$, $(x_0,y_0)\in\gamma_{\underline m}$, is
contained in the same distribution after parallel transport along $\gamma_{\underline m}$, i.e.,
$X_{\underline m}(X(\eta),Y(\eta))\subset E_2(\gamma_{\underline m})$, $\forall
\eta\in(\eta_1,\eta_2)$.\par The curve $\gamma$ on the Lagrange space $L$ is called
distinguished auto(da-)parallel if the tangent vector field $Y$ to $\gamma$ satisfies the
auto-parallel equations $D_YY= \rho(\eta)Y$, where $\rho(\eta)$ is a scalar function on $L$. The
curve $\gamma$ is called distinguished nearly auto(dna-)parallel if there is defined a
two-dimensional coplanar distribution $E_2(\gamma)$ containing the tangent vector field $Y$ to
$\gamma$. Moreover, let $L$ and $\underline L$ be two Lagrange spaces. The local $1-1$
mappings $na:L\to\underline L$, which change every da-parallel curve on $L$ into a dna-parallel
curvature on $\underline L$, are called nearly auto(na-)parallel maps.\par In the present paper,
having defined na-maps, the authors discuss deformation of fundamental function, metric,
nonlinear and canonical connections under such a map and obtain the basic deformation
equations. Taking clue from these, the authors classify all na-maps into four types yielding the
corresponding basic equations which are systems of first-order partial differential equations with
algebraic constraints. The authors give a new classification of Lagrange spaces based on chains of
28 din 30 23.02.2011 17:52

na-maps and thus introduce the concept of Lagrange spacetime category $LC_{st}$ with objects
being Lagrange spaces and morphisms being chains of na-maps of Lagrange spaces. In the end,
the authors consider fundamental spacetime $V$, Lagrange space $L$ and a chain of na-maps
from $V$ to $L$ and then transport the Einstein equation from $V$ to $L$ so as to explore it
under na-backgrounds.

The author presents a criterion for when it is possible to give an equivalent reformulation of the
Einstein gravitational field equations in arbitrarily given spaces. The study is obtained by using the
method of nearly auto-parallel maps of generalized affine metric and bundle spaces. Geometrical
constructions are realized for Riemann-Cartan spaces and applications are considered only for the
Einstein theory.\par Using the metricity conditions on Riemann-Cartan space, the components of
the basic connection $\Gammaâ_{bc}$ are given in terms of the metric $g_{ab}$ and the
cotorsion tensor $Tâ_{bc}$, and this represents a generalization of the Einstein relation [see
{\it A. Einstein}, The meaning of relativity, especially ``Relativistic theory of the non-symmetric
field'', (5th ed.), (Princeton 1955; Zbl 0067.20404)]. The torsion tensor is defined and the
symmetric affine is introduced. Thus, on Riemann-Cartan space three connection structures are
defined. Using conformal transformations of the metric one obtains the deformation tensor.\par On
Einstein-Cartan space the author considers two classes of curves which are reduced to geodesics
on corresponding (pseudo)-Riemannian spaces when the torsion is equal to zero.\par Furthermore,
a classification of Einstein-Cartan spaces is presented.
