Conformally invariant proper time with general non-metricity

Abstract We show that the definition of proper time for Weyl-invariant space-times given by Perlick naturally extends to spaces with arbitrary non-metricity. We then discuss the relation between this generalized proper time and the Ehlers–Pirani–Schild definition of time when there is arbitrary non-...
