Finsler, Kaehler, and Complex Tangent Bundles of Spacetime

The Levi-Civita bundle connection coefficients and Riemann curvature scalar are given for the tangent bundle of a Finsler spacetime. An almost complex structure is constructed on the bundle, and conditions are given that the tangent bundle be Kaehler and/or complex. The corresponding Levi-Civita connection coefficients and Riemann curvature scalar are given. The inclusion of bundle torsion is also addressed. Also, possible implications are given for the differential geometric structure of spacetime and gravitation.
