Some physical aspects induced by the internal variable in the theory of fields in Finsler spaces

Некоторые физические аспекты, связанные с внутренней переменной в теории поля в пространствах финслера

Summary

Some physical aspects underlying the theory of fields in Finsler spaces are considered. Since the internal variable (y) is associated with each point (x), some special conditions must be imposed on the Finslerian structure, that is to say some special Finsler spaces must be chosen in order to take out they-dependent features. In this paper, tangent space and local Minkowski space are taken up.

Riassunto

Si considerano alcuni aspetti fisici che stanno alla base della teoria dei campi negli spazi di Finsler. Poiché la variabile interna (y) è associata con ogni punto (x), alcune condizioni speciali devono essere imposte alla struttura finsleriana, cioè alcuni spazi di Finsler speciali devono essere scelti in modo da eliminare i comportamentiy-dipendenti. In questo lavoro ci si occupa dello spazio tangente e dello spazio di Minkowski locale.

Резюме

Рассматриваются некоторые физические аспекты, возникающие в теории полей в пространствах финслера. Так как внутренняя переменная (y) связана с каждой точкой (x), то на структуру финслериана должны быть наложены некоторые специальные условия. Следовательно, необходимо выбрать некоторые специальные пространства финслера, чтобы получить зависящие отy структуры. В этой статье выбираются тангенциальное пространство и локальное пространство Минковского.
