Abstract

We study field equations for a weak anisotropic model on the tangent Lorentz bundle of a spacetime manifold. A geometrical extension of General Relativity (GR) is considered by introducing the concept of local anisotropy, i.e. a direct dependence of geometrical quantities on observer velocity. In this approach, we consider a metric on as the sum of an h-Riemannian metric structure and a weak anisotropic perturbation, field equations with extra terms are obtained for this model. As well, extended Raychaudhuri equations are studied in the framework of Finsler-like extensions. Canonical momentum and mass-shell equation are also generalized in relation to their GR counterparts. Quantization of the mass-shell equation leads to a generalization of the Klein-Gordon equation and dispersion relation for a scalar field. In this model the accelerated expansion of the universe can be attributed to the geometry itself. A cosmological bounce is modeled with the introduction of an anisotropic scalar field. Also, the electromagnetic field equations are directly incorporated in this framework.
