Gravity for Finsler spacetime — •Christian Pfeifer — II Institut f. theoretische Physik, Uni Hamburg

I present an action based theory of gravity for Finsler spacetime including matter coupling. Its consistency with general relativity will be demonstrated. For spherical symmetry I present a first order solution of the Finsler gravity vacuum equation beyond metric geometry. This solution is a refinement of the linearised Schwarzschild metric from general relativity. Effects of this refinement in the solar system will be discussed.
