Locally Anisotropic Interactions: III. Higher Order Anisotropic Supergravity

A general approach to formulation of supergravity in higher order anisotropic superspaces (containing as particular cases different supersymmetric extensions and prolongations of Riemann, Finsler, Lagrange and Kaluza--Klein spaces) is given. We analyze three models of locally anisotropic supergravity.

Nonlinear Connections in Superbundles and Locally Anisotropic Supergravity

The theory of locally anisotropic superspaces (supersymmetric generalizations of various types of Kaluza--Klein, Lagrange and Finsler spaces) is laid down. In this framework we perform the analysis of construction of the supervector bundles provided with nonlinear and distinguished connections and metric structures. Two models of locally anisotropic supergravity are proposed and studied in details.

Nearly Autoparallel Maps, Tensor Integral and Conservation Laws in Locally Anisotrpoic Spaces

We formulate the theory of nearly autoparallel maps (generalizing conformal transforms) of locally anisotropic spaces and define the nearly autoparallel integration as the inverse operation to both covariant derivation and deformation of connections by nearly autoparallel maps. By using this geometric formalism we consider a variant of solution of the problem of formulation of conservation laws for locally anisotropic gravity. We note that locally anisotropic spases contain as particular cases various extensions of Kaluza--Klein, generalized Lagrange and Finsler spaces.

Stochastic Processes and Diffusion on Spaces with Local Anisotropy

The purpose of this work is to extend the formalism of stochastic calculus to the case of spaces with local anisotropy (modeled as vector bundles with compatible nonlinear and distinguished connections and metric structures and containing as particular cases different variants of Kaluza--Klein and generalized Lagrange and Finsler spaces). We shall examine nondegenerate diffusions on the mentioned spaces and theirs horizontal lifts.

Locally Anisotropic Gravity and Strings

An introduction into the theory of locally anisotropic spaces (modelled as vector bundles provided with compatible nonlinear and distinguished linear connections and metric structures and containing as particular cases different types of Kaluza--Klein and/or extensions of Lagrange and Finsler spaces) is presented. The conditions for consistent propagation of closed strings in locally anisotropic background spaces are analyzed. The connection between the conformal invariance, the vanishing of the renormalization group beta--function of the generalized sigma--model and field equations of locally anisotropic gravity is studied in detail.

Spinors in Higher Dimensional and Locally Anisotropic Spaces

The theory of spinors is developed for locally anisotropic (la) spaces, in brief la-spaces, which in general are modeled as vector bundles provided with nonlinear and distinguished connections and metric structures (such la-spaces contain as particular cases the Lagrange, Finsler and, for trivial nonlinear connections, Kaluza-Klein spaces). The la-spinor differential geometry is constructed. The distinguished spinor connections are studied and compared with similar ones on la-spaces. We derive the la-spinor expressions of curvatures and torsions and analyze the conditions when the distinguished torsion and nonmetricity tensors can be generated from distinguished spinor connections. The dynamical equations for gravitational and matter field la-interactions are formulated.

Twistors and Nearly Autoparallel Maps

In this work a proposal for definition of twistors on generic curved spaces is exposed and investigated. We consider superpositions of nearly autoparallel and nearly geodesic maps (nearly conformal maps, nc-maps) of (pseudo-)Riemannian spaces as generalizations of conformal transforms. We introduce the nearly autoparallel twistor equations being compatible on nc-flat spaces and study nearly autoparallel twistor structures generating curved spaces and vacuum Einstein equations.
