Non-Commercial Foundation on Research Development
in the field of Finsler Geometry "FINSLER PRIZE"
Dear Colleagues!
You are invited to participate in the International Conference
"Finsler Extensions of Relativity Theory" (FERT–2007) held by
Bauman Moscow State Technical University in Moscow and Stupino
(Moscow region), Russia, from 24–30 September 2007.
FERT–2007 is the third Conference in this field. The first and
second Conferences FERT–2005 and FERT–2006 took place in Cairo,
Egypt. The materials of these Conferences can be found on the web
page:
Conference Cairo-2006
The main topics to be covered on FERT–2007 are the following:
1. Rashevskii's Polymetric Geometry.
2. The general philosophical and mathematical principles underlying
the Finsler extensions of relativity theory.
3. Different Finsler metric functions and the geometries of
corresponding spaces.
4. Spaces whose metric functions are symmetric polynomials
depending on three variables of the third order (the Berwald-Moore
metrics).
5. Spaces whose metric functions are symmetric polynomials
depending on four variables of the third order (Chernov spaces).
6. Spaces whose metric functions are symmetric polynomials
depending on four variables of the fourth order (four-dimensional
Berwald-Moore spaces).
7. Generalizations of the fundamental physical and geometrical
structures in Finsler spaces.
8. Models of the observer's space-time in Finsler extensions of
Special Relativity Theory.
9. Poly linear symmetric forms of vectors as Finsler extensions of
the scalar product.
10. Extensions of the canonic invariants in Finsler spaces (poly
angles).
11. Linear Finsler spaces and their connection with hypercomplex
numbers.
12. The symmetries of Finsler spaces.
13. Isometric, conformal and extended conformal transformations of
Finsler spaces.
14. Finsler spaces and operations of the n-th order.
15. Experimental investigations and astrophysical observations
designed to detect possible evidence for the anisotropy of real space-
time.
As it can be seen from this list, the 2007 Conference will give
particular (though not exclusive) attention to the geometries whose
metric functions are symmetric polynomials. This focus is connected
with the fact that the quadratic form of the space-time of Special
Relativity is a symmetric polynomial dependent on four second-order
variables. Inasmuch as there are striking correspondences between
such Finsler geometries and the geometries of classical and
relativistic physics involving passage to the limit, we think there
is a possibility to create an extension of Newtonian and Einstein
gravity theories in this way.

The accommodation for participants and the main events of the
Conference will be in Fryazino (Moscow region). The Organizing
Committee plans to provide a cultural program including visiting
museums and historical places of Moscow.
