Searches for beyond-Riemann gravity

VA Kostelecký, Z Li - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
Many effective field theories describing gravity cannot arise from an underlying theory based
on Riemann geometry or its extensions to include torsion and nonmetricity but may instead …

Finsler gravity action from variational completion

M Hohmann, C Pfeifer, N Voicu - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
In the attempts to apply Finsler geometry to construct an extension of general relativity, the
