✦ Synopsis

We encode dynamical symmetries of Born-Infeld theory in a geometry on the tangent bundle of generally curved spacetime manifolds. The resulting covariant formulation of a maximal acceleration extension of special and general relativity is put to use in the discussion of particular point particle dynamics and the transition to a first quantized theory.

I consider a unified description of the phenomena of dark matter and dark energy which is given by a simple modification of gravity. Gravity is modified with new degrees of freedom which come from a second connection, different from the usual Levi-Civita connection. A candidate action, the Eddington
