Abstract

In spaces with Finslerian geometry, the metric tensor depends on the directional variable, which leads to a dependence on this variable of the electromagnetic tensor and of the 4-potential. In this paper, we investigate some of the consequences of this fact, regarding the basic notions and equations of classical electromagnetic field theory.
