We present a phenomenological model for the nature in the Finsler and Randers space-time geometries. We show that the parity-odd light speed anisotropy perpendicular to the gravitational equipotential surfaces encodes the deviation from the Riemann geometry toward the Randers geometry. We utilize an asymmetrical ring resonator and propose a setup in order to directly measure this deviation. We address the constraints that the current technology will impose on the deviation should the anisotropy be measured on the Earth surface and the orbits of artificial satellites.

Relativistic quantum field theory in the presence of an external electric potential in a general curved space-time geometry is considered. The Fermi coordinates adapted to the time-like geodesic are utilized to describe the low-energy physics in the laboratory and to calculate the leading correction due to the curvature of the space-time geometry to the Schrodinger equation. The correction is employed to calculate the probability of excitation for a hydrogen atom that falls in or is scattered by a general Schwarzchild black hole. Since the excited states decay due to spontaneous photon emission, this study provides the theoretical base for detection of small isolated black holes by observing the decay of the excited states as neutral hydrogen atoms in the vacuum are devoured by the black hole.

Combining with the small-large black hole phase transition, the thermodynamic geometry has been well applied to study the microstructure for the charged AdS black hole. In this paper, we extend the geometric approach to the rotating Kerr-AdS black hole and aim to develop a general approach for the Kerr-AdS black hole. Treating the entropy and pressure as the fluctuation coordinates, we construct the Ruppeiner geometry for the Kerr-AdS black hole by making the use of the Christodoulou-Ruffini-like squared-mass formula, which is quite different from the charged case. Employing the empirical observation of the corresponding scalar curvature, we find that, for the near-extremal Kerr-AdS black hole, the repulsive interaction dominates among its microstructure. While for far-from-extremal Kerr-AdS black hole, the attractive interaction dominates. The critical phenomenon is also observed for the scalar curvature. These results uncover the characteristic microstructure of the Kerr-AdS black hole. Such general thermodynamic geometry approach is worth generalizing to other rotating AdS black holes, and more interesting microstructure is expected to be discovered.
In this paper we consider a model for gravity in 4-dimensional space-time originally proposed by Chamseddine, which may be derived by dimensional reduction and truncation from a 5-dimensional Chern-Simons theory. Its topological origin makes it an interesting candidate for an easier quantization, e.g., in the Loop Quantization framework. The present paper is dedicated to a classical analysis of the models properties. Cosmological solutions as well as wave solutions are found and compared with the corresponding solutions of Einsteins General Relativity with cosmological constant.
We describe the Hamilton geometry of the phase space of particles whose motion is characterised by general dispersion relations. In this framework spacetime and momentum space are naturally curved and intertwined, allowing for a simultaneous description of both spacetime curvature and non-trivial momentum space geometry. We consider as explicit examples two models for Planck-scale modified dispersion relations, inspired from the $q$-de Sitter and $kappa$-Poincare quantum groups. In the first case we find the expressions for the momentum and position dependent curvature of spacetime and momentum space, while for the second case the manifold is flat and only the momentum space possesses a nonzero, momentum dependent curvature. In contrast, for a dispersion relation that is induced by a spacetime metric, as in General Relativity, the Hamilton geometry yields a flat momentum space and the usual curved spacetime geometry with only position dependent geometric objects.
Quantum gravity phenomenology suggests an effective modification of the general relativistic dispersion relation of freely falling point particles caused by an underlying theory of quantum gravity. Here we analyse the consequences of modifications of the general relativistic dispersion on the geometry of spacetime in the language of Hamilton geometry. The dispersion relation is interpreted as the Hamiltonian which determines the motion of point particles. It is a function on the cotangent bundle of spacetime, i.e. on phase space, and determines the geometry of phase space completely, in a similar way as the metric determines the geometry of spacetime in general relativity. After a review of the general Hamilton geometry of phase space we discuss two examples. The phase space geometry of the metric Hamiltonian $H_g(x,p)=g^{ab}(x)p_ap_b$ and the phase space geometry of the first order q-de Sitter dispersion relation of the form $H_{qDS}(x,p)=g^{ab}(x)p_ap_b + ell G^{abc}(x)p_ap_bp_c$ which is suggested from quantum gravity phenomenology. We will see that for the metric Hamiltonian $H_g$ the geometry of phase space is equivalent to the standard metric spacetime geometry from general relativity. For the q-de Sitter Hamiltonian $H_{qDS}$ the Hamilton equations of motion for point particles do not become autoparallels but contain a force term, the momentum space part of phase space is curved and the curvature of spacetime becomes momentum dependent.
