Generalized Minkowski space with changing shape

Abstract

In earlier papers we changed the concept of the inner product to a more general one, to the so-called Minkowski product. This product changes on the tangent space hence we could investigate a more general structure than a Riemannian manifold. Particularly interesting such a model when the negative direct component has dimension one and the model shows certain space-time character. We will discuss this case here. We give a deterministic and a non-deterministic (random) variant of a such a model. As we showed, the deterministic model can be defined also with a "shape function".
