Towards the physical significance of the
metric.
(English) Zbl 1221.53051
Summary: We offer an example of second order
Kawaguchi metric functions, the extremal flow of which generalizes
the flat space-time model of the semi-classical spinning particle
to the framework of the pseudo-Riemannian space-time. The general
shape of the variational Euler-Poisson equation of the fourth
order in (pseudo-) Riemannian space is developed, too.
