Finsler gravity action from variational completion
Manuel Hohmann, Christian Pfeifer, Nicoleta Voicu
In the attempts to apply Finsler geometry to construct an extension of general relativity, the question about a suitable generalization of the Einstein equations is still under deb…
A local quantum Mach principle and the metricity of spacetime
Philipp A Hoehn, Markus P Mueller, Christian Pfeifer +1
We revisit the old question of what distinguishes the formulation of spacetime geometry in terms of a Lorentzian metric physically from more general geometric structures. Our appro…
Hamiltonian and primary constraints of new general relativity
Daniel Blixt, Manuel Hohmann, Christian Pfeifer
We derive the kinematic Hamiltonian for the so-called "new general relativity" class of teleparallel gravity theories, which is the most general class of theories whose Lagrangian…
Propagation of gravitational waves in symmetric teleparallel gravity theories
Manuel Hohmann, Christian Pfeifer, Jackson Levi Said +1
Symmetric teleparallel gravity (STG) offers an interesting third geometric interpretation of gravitation besides its formulation in terms of a spacetime metric and Levi-Civita conn…
Propagation of gravitational waves in teleparallel gravity theories
Manuel Hohmann, Martin Krššák, Christian Pfeifer +1
We investigate propagation of gravitational waves in the most general teleparallel gravity model with second order field equations around the Minkowski background. We argue that in…
Berwald spacetimes and very special relativity
Andrea Fuster, Cornelia Pabst, Christian Pfeifer
In this work we study Berwald spacetimes and their vacuum dynamics, where the latter are based on a Finsler generalization of the Einstein's equations derived from an action on the…
