Abstract
A differential-geometric technique of non-Riemannian space description
is considered. This n-dimensional distorted Riemannian space distinguishes
from a Riemannian one by a substitution of one-dimensional geodesics by
(n-1)-dimensional tubes. Such a space is of interest as a model
of space-time, taking into account quantum effects.
