Average of geometric structures in Finsler spaces with Lorentzian signature

Abstract: Given the class of Finsler spaces with Lorentzian signature

(M, L)

on a manifold

M

endowed with a timelike vector field

m a t h c a l X

satisfying

g_{(x, y)} (m a t h c a l X, m a t h c a l X) < 0

at any point

(x, y)

of the slit tangent bundle, a pseudo-Riemannian metric defined on

M

of signature

n - 1

is associated to the fundamental tensor

g

. Furthermore, an affine, torsion free connection is associated to the Chern connection determined by

L

. The definition of the average connection does not make use of

m a t h c a l X

. Therefore, there is no direct relation between these two averaged objects.
