Aspects of General Relativity: Pseudo-Finsler extensions, Quasi-normal frequencies and Multiplication of tensorial distributions
arXiv:1107.2978
Abstract
This thesis is based on three different projects, all of them are directly linked to the classical general theory of relativity, but they might have consequences for quantum gravity as well. The first chapter deals with pseudo-Finsler geometric extensions of the classical theory, these being ways of naturally representing high-energy Lorentz symmetry violations. The second chapter deals with the problem of highly damped quasi-normal modes related to different types of black hole spacetimes. Besides the astrophysical meaning of the quasi-normal modes, there are conjectures about the link between the highly damped modes and black hole thermodynamics. The third chapter is related to the topic of multiplication of tensorial distributions.
