The geometry of Ingarden spaces

The Randers spaces RFn were introduced by R. S. Ingarden. They are considered as Finsler spaces Fn = (M, α + β) equipped with the Cartan nonlinear connection. In the present paper we define and study what we call the Ingarden spaces, I Fn, as Finsler spaces I Fn = (M, α + β) equipped with the Lorentz nonlinear connection. The spaces R Fn and I Fn are completely different. For I Fn we discuss: the variational problem, Lorentz nonlinear connection, canonical N-metrical connection and its structure equations, the Cartan 1-form ω, the electromagnetic 2-form tF and the almost symplectic 2-form 0. The formula dω = F+θ is established. It has as a consequence the generalized Maxwell equations. Finally, the almost Hermitian model of I Fn is constructed.
